Hi all... we would love to hear feedback about the 2/10 Shabbat Service. We have had a few very nice emails that came in privately... you are encouraged to post those comments here and also to be as specific as you can about what worked or was valuable to you about the service. If you have constructive criticism or suggestions to offer, those are welcome too.
ground rule: Given that we each bring unique sensibilities and history to our participation, please use "I language"... that is... talk about your own experience, impressions, ideas, opinions... and be careful not to assume what others' experiences and opinions might be.

It is so clear that much thoughtful preparation went into both Sat. service and the prparations around it. Thank you all.
At this moment the one comment I have is that I missed being wrapped in my tallit from the beginning of the service. I use the space and moment of wrapping to create a space in which I can be truly present without the concerns and attitudes of my week-day world and missed this. Other comments will come as they filter through to my consciousness.
But big thanks to y'all.
This was such a satisfying spiritual and community experience for me, one that I haven’t had for a very long time. Thanks to Elliott, Otter and Hannah for making this happen. The music was very special for me as this is the way that prayerfulness happens. I look forward to growing with this chavurah, learning through figuring out the ways I can make a contribution to services…have shared my enthusiasm with friends and found another to join with us… look forward to our next Shabbat together…
Marie-Jeanne -- I agree with you about being wrapped in my tallit. I wanted to try it this way once -- first the personal body blessings, then entering the prayer space, but I felt completely lost without that moment of private wrapping and then feeling my tallit on my shoulders. Others?
