Last night was my first lesson since three weeks ago (because of the break) and I had that awful cold that's been going around over break, so I was really worried that I would have regressed vocally and forgotten the music that I'm working on. (I was a naughty boy and didn't even review it at the piano.)

I was pleasantly surprised by how well my lesson went. My teacher said that often after taking a break and being sick a singer actually sings better because they don't really care how well they sound, they just want to survive, so they don't tense up! I was certainly much more relaxed than I expected.

And she came even closer to convincing me to sing at a recital in the spring. I've been working on "Honor and Arms" from Handel's Samson and it's a remarkably fun piece to do.

A few years back, a friend purchased for me a complete-at-the-time set of the small volumes of Talmud translated into modern Hebrew and elucidated by Rabbi Adin Steinsalz. At the time, that set had 21 volumes. (20 of the Bavli and 1 of the Yerushalmi.)

Since then, five more volumes have been produced. (One to go!) And one can purchase them individually in the large size, but my search for the small-size volumes has been fruitless --- they only seem to be available in a complete set.

Perhaps someone whose Hebrew is better than mine could spend a few minutes searching the web and seeing if I'm missing something? Thanks....
