For years, the nusach chanted only by tenors and basses. But now there’s a “new”sach: sopranos and altos too at the bimah, female cantors giving traditional blessings a new cant. What a blessing, to hear new voices raised. But, complains one woman, “I can’t pray to such a high voice.” She wants standards lowered.
Considering how much you’ve done for the English Club, I would be highly upset and at least raise an eyebrow if anyone showed any disdain for that decision (which none of us would). And CONGRATULATIONS! It’s about time you got some good news!
