One more bonus for braving all those quiet streets and coming out to Erev Shabbat services this Friday (Dec 25, 7 pm)…we’ll be thinking our own turn-of-the-season thoughts as the secular new year approaches, with the lovely “Overjoyed” by Christine Kane.

The lyrics are posted here (link.) Rabbi Ariel and JD Kleinke usually sing and play this in the key of F. (I actually play it with a capo on the third fret, so it looks like we are doing it in the key of D. – JD) And if you remember from last year, the chorus is easy – and meant to be sung out long, wistful, and sweet.
