First Addendum on Kickoff for Second Semester

Friends,

For those of you who were not there last week, we distributed copies of the Torah chanting book (complete with accompanying CD), which is the book that Jon and Debbie were asking about.

Debbie, if you are not at shul on shabbat, I will either send it to you of have someone drop it off. John, I will give you my copy of the book on Friday, and pick up on another on shabbat.

I will get back to some of your other questions later.

Second Semester Kick-Off (Even After the Super Bowl!)

Friends,

I have not yet decided on the financial charge for our class this second semester, but will let you know on shabbat.

Correction by the way on the information I gave you last shabbat. I will be out of town on the week-end of the 16th, so we will next be meeting on shabbat, the 23rd of February.

Here are your assignments:

Work on the first TWO chapters in the Torah chanting book. The best way to do this is fifteen minutes or more a day, five or six days a week. If you do this, you cannot fail.

Also, in siddur audio at sidduraudio.com, work on two things. In the Saturday/Shabbat Morning Service section, work on the following:

1. The Amidah - Part 1 - which is somewhat familiar to you from our services
2. The Ashrei - which comes just before returning the Torah

All of this work is more than enough to keep you busy. I will be checking up on you this shabbat, so get started now!!

Check in here a couple of times this week for updates.

Shavua Tov!

Stuart
