Re: Fwd: Neshama's 10/18 show at The Bottom Line, NYC

It's cute to read this statement by St. Augustine quoted by Neshama as if 
it were a Midrash or a Hassidic teaching ("We learn that...).
It's a great statement, though.  I have a sign of "To Sing Is To Pray 
Twice" in calligraphy posted on my office door.  Right now the sign is 
anonymous -- other than the artist's name -- but for quite a while I've 
been thinking of attributing it to "Der Augustiner Rebbe".
