Sarah's Journey Through Cantorial School. Saturday, August 23, 2008. And I know things now, many valuable things. I shall begin with an anecdote and then tell you more about my Shabbat.

And it's only 5 months into this fantastic journey! The very first full day I was in Israel, I went by HUC and noticed a posting of all the cantorial concerts this year. I rememb...

http://skrevsky.blogspot.com/2009/02/long-and-overdue-entry.html
Sarah's Journey Through Cantorial School. Saturday, February 21, 2009. Long and overdue entry. I'm hanging my head in shame right now.

I know that in the next few days I'll think of more to tell you, but that's...

Sarah's Journey Through Cantorial School. Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Jerusalem smells like kugel. I went for a walk yesterday around Jerusalem and realized as I walked past many of the apartment buildings that I was getting very hungry. Because I hadn't eaten yet? No Because people were cooking in preparation for Erev Rosh Hashanah and all the smells were wafting out of the building. It was a very delicious smelling walk to say the least. May this be a year of sweet blessings for you all! Here is what ...

Sarah's Journey Through Cantorial School. Friday, November 28, 2008. I can not believe how incredibly fast the time has been flying so far this year.

Here is an update on what has been going. Yes, we celebrated. Our class decided...
