The Punster and Shira Show

It wasn't planned that way.

Sure, I was already booked in to chant Haftarat Matot yesterday. But my husband and I didn't know that he would be drafted, too, as leiner/baal koreh/Torah reader, covering for the cantor while he was on vacation.

So he chanted the Torah reading, then chanted the b'rachot before and after I chanted the haftarah--our synagogue does not yet allow women to chant our own b'rachot--and then, for good measure, led the Musaf Service.

Methinks we made spectacles of ourselves. :)

To my American readers, enjoy Independence Day.
