Today I read the fifth עלייה to פרשת בשלח. Four weeks of preparation led to a decent reading: despite tremendous performance anxiety (and morning digestive issues picking the worst time to start trouble) I only blanked on the notes for one phrase near the end of the עלייה.
And this time, there were no corrections. 😉
Looking forward to my next attempt in this experiment in leaving my comfort zone in the pursuit of a personal goal and in the service of the community.
It also helps to do something of real value in today’s world, to sing words of eternal truth to my community in a time when so many words are spoken for ill.
That’s good too.
