Itzik's Shabbos Nigun

[Pete Rushefsky <klezbanjo...>]

Sorry-- this was supposed to be personal to Itzik. 
But as long as I inadvertantly outed it to the list, I
want to tell everyone how moved I was by the shabbos
nign that Itzik had collected from a Romanian shtetl &
taught at KlezKanada-- if you haven't heard, it was
chanted while the entire community walked backwards
from the lake to the shul-- a beautiful ceremony that
emphasized not turning one's back to the sabbath. 
Being a part of a group of 300 or so who recreate this
ceremony at camp is something I'll never forget.
