Just own the night, like the First of July...

Our temple had a Musical Shabbat last Friday, and it was amazing. The entire service was sung by our choir, accompanied by folks playing the guitar, flute, drums, and piano. We had new melodies to some old songs ("Hinnei Mah Tov" and the Kiddush) and some new songs that Rebecca had never heard before, like Debbie Friedman's "Sing Unto God."

Did you go to a mikvah when you converted? Maybe it's something you want to do, deep down :)

Yes, I had one in the Amite River in Baton Rouge right after I saw the beit din. I was pretty nervous beforehand, but it turned out to be a powerful, beautiful experience.

My oldest daughter used to sing in a Youth Choir here in the city. One year, they did a selection of Hebrew songs and performed at a local Temple. It was beautiful, and I loved it!

Many thanks for stopping by Saints and Scripture Sunday!
