And in other news, on Wednesday I read the Song of the Sea,* and it was super-fun. You know how sometimes you're doing something performancy, and you just have the feeling it's going well? Like that. I'd forgotten that everyone stands for that bit, so when I paused just prior to launching into the grand parts, I saw everyone getting to their feet, and sort of thought 'gosh, look...this had better be good hadn't it...'
And afterwards, the gabbai said "magnificent," which was awfully nice, and quite meaningful given that a gabbai gets to hear a lot of Torah reading. I'd certainly felt jolly good doing it, so it was nice to have external confirmation.
* which, unlike for instance the Ten Commandments, doesn't play a huge part in Christian-based cultural traditions, so if you were wondering - we take it a bit more seriously. F'r instance, we stand up when it's read, like we do for the Ten Biggies.
