Hi everybody out there!
This is Chaya Bockian, Leah Saltzman, and Nechama Saltzman speaking.
We’re leaving to the airport to go to the YALDAH Shabbaton in 5 1/2 hours so we should probably go to bed but we are way too excited!! (Besides that we’d be up now anyway.)
So, we’ll give you an update on what’s happening with this amazing Shabbaton: Penina Harrison arrived tonight. Leah Larson went to meet her at the train station and they missed their train back to Sharon, so they had to wait a couple more hours ’til they went back! But all’s well that ends well, and Leah and Penina are both in Sharon, sleeping we’d hope (but probably not).
Aside from that… Ilana Katzin is also here but she’s not with us at the computer (she’s doing the normal thing that people do at this time of night.) Leah and Nechama’s awesome and generous sister, Miriam, is bringing us to the airport… we’re leaving at 5:45 am!!
Oh, we have to keep up with Nechama’s tradition, right? Ok, so we’re currently listening to “V’hoo Kechoson” by Shimon Craimer. Can you guess what the CD is called? “Craimer.” Actually, Shimon Craimer is a Chazan and he’s the friend of someone in our community. He’s also British – that’s cool, right? Anyho… it’s a gorgeous song because Shimon has an amazing, clear, voice and he has a big range.
So now we’re going to go to sleep because Leah said we should get some sleep before we wake up in less than 5 hours.
Layla Tov! (Good night!)
i dont think its very tznius to 'keep up nechamas tradition' or whatever. you can say which song you are listening to, but you dont exactly have to make a biography aboyut the singer when he is of the opposite gender. its not tznius. whats wrong with biographies about chanale or other female singers?
First of all – I don't listen to female songs usually while on the computer 'cause it's a small issue of Kol Isha around my house so I can't be talking about female singers 'cause that's not what I'm listening to!Second of all – I don't really agree that it's not Tznius. Usually I'm not giving random facts like I did about Shimon Craimer… and I also don't think there's anything wrong with that. Sorry, that's my personal opinion.Third of all – if it's not Tznius here, do you also think it's not Tznius in Music Notes, in the magazine? Because if you do, then I'm really sorry and feel free to email me at nechama@yaldahmagazine.com to talk about it further. (and in Music Notes we do female ones also. That's all besides the fact that the ratio of frum female singers to frum male singers is kind of unbalanced so there are not that many female singers to write about!!)-Nechama S
yes i think it isnt tznius in the music notes in the magazine. i dont have to email you you will read that here.i also dont object to listening to male-sung songs. np. but analyzing the singers is something that i think tzniuswise shouldnt be done.do whatever you want, i said what i have to
