NOTES TO WHOEVER DESIGNS THIS WEBSITE:
I am using a railroad-train theme. Each Section of the Website is a different railroad car. Ideally, the Website Visitor would seem to walk down the central aisle of the train, and the various files might appear as books along the side.

Also, there might be a narrow frame running vertically down the right side of the screen; it might be fixed to the main Website, rather than scrolling independently; but it would also hold LINK's. This would correspond the scenery one sees as the train travels on.

Background pictures if any should be high-quality; Klee's Magic Squares, a Rothko -- non-representational designs, but high quality. Similarly, any music cues shouid be very high quality -- Landowska, Richter, Budapest String Quartet (!) -- I've got that on CD, but it might take me some time to put them onto Computer.

Colours should be subtle, not crude.

Content is fixed; I want to include all the files and links that I now have; and will want to add more. I would like this Website to be designed so that it would not find it too confusing to add things to it.

Find another Website Host, and set it up for me there; you chose a password. You can do that on a Yahoo free Website (15 Mb limit) or any better Free site you find. Sapphire maybe.

That's all I think of for now.

Best wishes,
Steve

%%%%%%%% TRACK 2 %%%%%%%%%%

%%%%%% AND NOW, IF YOU WILL JUST ACKNOWLEGE THE FORMATLIES %%%%%%%

CAVEAT TAKE 2:

This Website is primarily and predominantly a warehouse of ( 'RSC'='R.Shlomo Carlebach') teachings.

Those are within the context of traditional, 'orthodox' (or 'ultra-orthodox', if you prefer that term) Judaism.

I've tried to present them in a way that will be acceptable to strictly observant readers (and have not yet received complaints in that regard).

PART I of this Website is entirely RSC material.

However:
This Website is presently my only Website, so I've added subsequent PART's to it, that hold files of entirely different sorts.
(Albeit, nothing unduly outrageous, I think.)
I am not orthodox; and there are some files in subsequent PART's of this Website, starting with PART II (Poems) that reflect that.

So I must offer advance apologies (but maybe not more excuses) to anyone whose sensiblilities are affronted by anything here.

OK; Yalla:

---------------------------------------------------------------

CAVEAT TABBYCAT ALLEYCAT RULES:

This site is hosted by Yahoo.com at the cost of hitch-hiking their ads, which are as inobtrusive as possible, and seem unobjectionalbe, but are probably safest ignored.

Most of my RSC files are bundled into clickable *.zip files, which download, though you or your wizard then have to unpack 'em.

Briefly: You can unpack my *.zip files under Windows using your WINZIP.EXE, or under MS-DOS using PKUNZIP.EXE (ver. 2/93); included in =tools.zip.
I write under MS-DOS in EinsteinWriter (W.EXE 8.2), which files convert to ASCII via EinsteinWriter's T.EXE (the 20,794K version, not the 20,799K version); or if you prefer via EinsteinWriter's ETRANS.EXE ; those 3 EXE files plus =PKUNZIP.EXE are bundled in tools.zip

Most of the files on this Website are text-only files. The unzip'd files are *.txt, i.e., ASCII .

Briefly: I use EinsteinWriter's LAYOUT Feature as successively staggered block-indents, such that Layout 1 (.l1) is LM=10, Layout 2 is LM=15, Layout 3 (.l3) is LM=20, etc. That feature is sometimes essential to keep my sub- and sub-sub-, and sub-sub-sub, and then sub-sub points minimally comprehensible.
Unfortunately, it strips out under a T.EXE convert to ASCII. So very recently I've tried to flag those block-idents with an extraneous #l1, #l2, #l3, etc.; so that from an ASCII convert they can be reconstructed under W.EXE . But note that each Layout command (.l1, .l2, .l3, etc.) must be immediately followed by a CR to take effect. And you have to reset the Layouts in the Layout Menu of W.EXE (F2 in W.EXE 8.2).
Ain't that hard though.

Incidentally, EinsteinWriter's horizontally split-screen 'Compose' mode is ideal for juxtaposing an edit with the verbatim original. And all that and more for 90K. Much better wp program (for writers, if not desktop publishers) than MicroSoft WORD for Windows.

I so far find http://www.yahoo.com a reliable if tediously gaudy Free E-mail platform (with very good SPAM-diversion), but beware downloading anything free from a Yahoo site.
In particular even attempting to download those Yahoo free screen savers might unlock a SPAM sluice-gate. And if a Daemon asks for your E-mail address ---- be cool ...

Alternatively: http://www.fastmail.fm , (recommended by Chaim Gingy Cohen), seems a clean honest minimalist E-mail platform )

That completes the Formalities; Thank you for you patience.

WEBSITE PART I: R. SHLOMO CARLEBACH TRANSCRIPTS (et al.)

(1) A lot of transcriptions of taped teachings by R. Shlomo Carlebach.
(N.B.: This Website has no official connection with the R. Shlomo Carlebach Foundation.)

Most of the transcriptions on this-here Website are by 'sa'='Steve_Amdur'.
Most of those are complete transcriptions. (That applies to transcriptions made ca. 1993--date; but not to transcriptions made 1985--1993, (most of which are excerpts, mostly excerpted from typescript full transcriptions).
When I elide (omit some text) from a fuller transript, I so indicate with 3_dots , thus ...
My transcriptions are vitually uneditted. That is, I very rarely edit R. Shlomo's words. (R. Joshua Witt taught me that; he said, cut out only each third 'mamash'.)
However, I do frequently interject my own remarks.
However, I do (since ca. 1998) set off my interjected remarks in {squiggly_braces}.

R. Zalman told of the Chabad engineer taking a passenger train from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv in 1948. The self-styled Arabs from or at the adjacent villages harassed it, the brakes went, and the hand-brake handle became glowing hot. The engineer held on, the train stayed on track, the passengers lived on. They asked him, how could you do it. He said, our Rebbe always taught us, that mind can overcome the lower desires.

GENERAL EDITORIAL NOTES FOR RSC MATERIAL:

I make no claims upon any RSC material that I've worked on, but acknowlege that others may assert and/or have asserted such claims. Questions regarding commerical publication should be directed to the R. Shlomo Carlebach Foundation. (However, this has been rather a problematic matter.)

However, I do ask that, in the interest of Archiving, anyone using any transcriptions that I've worked on, and even posted, note the original filename/filedate, and indicate briefly what sort of changes you've made.

Such changes might include: Editting, adding sources, adding (initialed) notes, excerpting, deleting my {squiggly-braces shtuyot }, correcting my garbled Hebrew, adding Hebrew from tape or context, correcting my transcription against tape, etc.)

CAVEAT: My level of learning in Jewish religious studies has yet to reach the level of that of eg any member of the Witt Family over the age of 6. BZ has renarked that my transcritions are full of errors. I those are pointed out to me, I will note them in Errata docs. To keep Archiving clear, I will not go back into my original docs and correct errors, unless I then rename that doc.

============================================================== ==============

RSC Files posted here currently include:

SECTION 1: README FILES:
redmesa1.txt -- A basic readme doc
redmesa1.txt
This is the basic readme document for my RSC files.

Other readme documents are included in zip'd packages of files. They include: beadme.doc
redme.doc (a *.ein file I 'spect)

SECTION 2:
PACKAGES OF PREVIOUSLY-POSTED (2/98--6/99) RSC TRANSCRIPTIONS, ETC.:

These are *.zip's of files that I previously posted to the reb- shlomo LIST
(reb-shlomo@shamash.org )
and on my previous (and now-lost, unless anyone has a copy) Website, www.kinneret.co.il/sa9802

learning.zip

nu396a.zip>

sh1196a.zip

wed1094.zip

This is my topical sequential sorted excerpts from wittweds.zip, wedding transcripts, input by various people under various auspices, none mine.

(=wed1094.zip is the only file omitted (and that inadvertantly) from my CD-ROM of my collection of RSC materials, June '04, Posted to the Mevo Modi'in Free Peoples' Public Library and sent to the Carlebach Shul (NYC).)
) This is a recurrently-mooted publication, questions regarding which should at least initially be like directed to the RSC Foundation.
Meanwhile, it might serve as an informal handbook for an RSC-style Wedding.
"A word to the wise is sufficient"; all others please wear hard_hats in the Library Stacks.

yakar.zip
This is a package of transcriptions of talks given by RSC at Yakar, 10 Rehov Ha_Lamed-Hey, Old Katamon, Jerusalem, 1993. Questions regarding publication should be directed to Yakar, and to the R. Shlomo Carlebach Foundation.
A more complete collection of Videotapes of RSC's talks at Yakar was made by Natanel Shur, a native-French member of the RSC chevre presently living in Kiryat Moshe, Jerusalem.

new69596.zip

nonmishk.zip

Transcriptions, by Witts, EW, and sa, from Witt collection.
Does not include transcriptions (all by the Witts) of the "Mishkanot" RSC teachings, which were given at the Witts home in/on Mishkanot. These talks, given to core chevre, are on an Advanced level. I'm seen no comparable RSC talks. They are posted to my Yahoo Briefcase, http://www.geocities.com/sa73122a , but in a more restricted-Access Folder.

sc0497a.zip

sh1297c.zip

extracts.zip

snippets.zip

shmusic6.zip
Alphabetic transcription of tunes, with transliteration of lyrics using my ASCII-based transliteration system (case-sensitive with non-significant vocalization, such that the Hebrew, without nekudot, can be unequivocally reconstructed from the transliteration;

useful for writing post-dated cheques, etc.). Easier to add to a backpack than the combined Velvel Pasternak and Ben-Zion Solomon RSC Songbooks, of which it's an annotated distillation.

shmemos.zip
Might include a few good memos on Archiving; plus assorted shtuyot.
_____________ ['shtuyot'="a stew of ridiculousnesses"]

kids1094.zip

Brief excerpts, maybe editted, compiled ca. 1986. Might serve as tolerable text for a coffee-table book. Anyone prepared to proceed on same should as a courtesy check with Rbtzn. Rachel- Bryna Frumin , and with the Carlebach Foundation.

journals.zip

A few retypes from editted excerpt transcriptions published in HBG="Holy Beggars' Gazette" and CNS="Connections".
"And Esther Wrote" was an exceptionally strong statement, one might say 'pro-feminist'.
Copyright to HBG material was subsequently bought by some Upstate dude whom I presume re-editted some -- but HH says no, he published it verbatim -- and re-published it chastely through Jason Arononson, Inc.
( Jason Aronson, Inc. is maybe now the pre-eminent Jewish_religious publishing house; Pomerantz Booksellers in Jerusalem are their Israel outlet).
So these docs might serve as a useful archival cross-check to editorial excess, if any.
But EG says: Bar-Ilan University library, in B'nei B'rak, has a complete collection of HBG's.
That's what internet publication is good for; human beings don't really like reading those blinking little pixels; books still hold their own re-cycled turf.

revised.zip

Minor revisions of a few previously-posted docs.

----------------------------------------------------

SECTION 3:
INDIVIDUAL TRANSCRIPTS, IN *.txt, PREVIOUSLY POSTED (2/98--6/99) TO RSC LIST AND TO RSC WEBSITE

You can also get *.txt files from a workaround. Click thataway to download rsctxt03.zip, which is a the patience and consideration of the chevre of Moshav Meor Modi'in) 7/03--12/03 . There's a bit of duplication, but I also tossed in W.EXE, T.EXE, ETRANS.EXE, and PKUNZIP.EXE (ver. 2/93). Just to get back at whatever. Davka with peppercorns, I suppose.

SECTION 4:
DOWNLOADS from the R. Shlomo Carlebach Website , http://www.rebshlomo.org
The downloads from the RSC Website seem in general to be edited short excerpts from tapes.

webspr98.zip
My download of RSC "tora's" that were on the rebshlomo.org Website in Spring 1998.

scwby402.zip
My download of RSC "tora's" that were on the rebshlomol.org Website 2 Jan '04
Some of those may duplicate files in the Spring 1998 download.
Also, there may be some accidental duplication of filenames for different files.

scwb0404.ZIP
The same, as of about 8 April '04.
I think it's both less and other than the preceeding. Includes a copy of the Source file, with some but not many temporarily UnLINK'd RSC excerpts.
Everything seems to excerpts form Connections (CNS) and from the Kehillat Jacob newsletter.

yccdrom.zip
An humungous compendium of postings, I guess.
Unpackaged files included on a CD-ROM sent me 11/'03 by YC. I haven't yet looked at these files. I think that they're downloads from both the RSC Website and the RSC LIST. Maybe some are my files. There's maybe much duplication.

A few files stuffed into a Media-Bias Folder. mostly unpublished and largely unsent Letters-to-the-Editor, mostly to the Editor of the Jerusalem Post.

WEBSITE PART IV: A NOTE ON FORMAT:

Regarding those meddlesome Microsoft Dinosaurs as a passing fad,
I continue, as I've done since 1986 or so,
to write under MS-DOS using EinsteinWriter (ver. 8.2) (W.EXE),
which files convert to ASCII using EinsteinWriter's T.EXE
(use the 20,794K version, not the 20,799K version
(which unusable version is maybe included in some of my old *.ZIP's; Caveat hep-cat.).

W.EXE and T.EXE, and PKKUNZIP.EXE (ver. 2/93) are available from my now-unused Briefcase; Yahoo Geocities Plebian Webpages don't accept upload of *.EXE files.

However, I think I've smuggled them in in a zip package:

tools.zip:
W.EXE (ver 8.2),
T.EXE (20,794K version),
PKUNZIP.EXE (2/93 version),
ETRANS.EXE
(Use with the /e /nj options. An alternative to T.EXE, but I think not as good.

W.EXE and T.EXE should also be available from EinsteinWriter, Ltd., which had a rather inactive office on Hillel St. in Jerusalem 5 years ago, though not now.
EinsteinWriter once was and may yet be again the industry-standard for refined typists. Hereabouts, anyhow. Somebody should buy it, improve it, and re-market it.
I once wrote, as a hotmail signature file: "Microsoft does everything -- with colossal ineptitude; a nested set of intentionally self-obsoleting black-boxes for blockheads." I continue to find Windows less efficient than DOS; except for folks illiterate in English. There are few anticipatable user needs which Microsoft does not detour around; and few possible questions which it fails to answer so circumlocutiously that you'd better pack a bag lunch before clicking Help.

For a writer, though not a desk-top publisher, EinsteinWriter is the best-designed PC word-processing program I've seen; tho not up to the standalone's of the late '70's: DEC 78, WANG, Xerox, even IBM-6. Ah, nostalgia.

Once converted to Text, you can Open them under Windows into MicroSoft WORD. Most of my RSC files are packaged into *.zip files; those unpackage using (under MS-DOS) PKUNZIP.EXE (ver. 2/93, or any later version). They can then be read under , and are best read under, MS-DOS using W.EXE (any version, legal or liberated (1DC)). They can also be unzip'd under Windows using WINZIP (any version, as far as I know). Once unzip'ed, almost all will be in EinsteinWriter format. I don't yet know what you do then. Maybe read them on a meter-long screen.

An adequate honest pop-up blocker. Run by Amazon & Recommended by Chaim G. Cohen. No doubt filled with cookies, etc., but disreetly so.

www.refdesk.com
Recommended by Alifa Sadya. A very extensive meta-site of reference books, utilities, et. al. Maybe problem-free.

www.tudogs.com Shareware. Recommend by Alifa Sadya. ps52b.zip
This is Patri-Soft's PSearch, of which the essential (and only necessary) file is PS.EXE .

www.virtualjerusalem.com

www.jpost.com
The rather trivialized remnant of the Internet edition of the rather trivialized Jerusalem Post.
Sophmoric editors from the Ayn Raynd School of Business Management notwithstanding, the Jlem Post remains maybe, if only by default, the only passble source for information about Israel political/security events.

http://www.Begedivri.com Website for Reuven Prager, Tel: +972---2--6258-943 ; Reuven@actcom.com . Reuven Prager exemplifies in practice, as R. Zalman does in spirit and thought, the true meaning of a 'Reconstructionist' movement (quite apart from whatever Mordechai Kaplan wrote): ChaDeSh YaMeINU K-QeDeM . He was among the first to restore techelet to tzitzit (acceptable though not used by all branches of orthodox Judaism); he then re-created the 'bridal chair', continues to produce neo-biblical garments of great beauty; and has re-instituted the annual half-shekel contribution in a scholarly and halachically responsible manner.

http://www.davidzeller.org R. David Zeller, who lives in the religious yuppie suburban community of Efrat, serves as Director of Yakar (a co-educational orthodox learning center in Old Katamon, Jerusalem), and works also as a traveling lecturer and trans-personal therapist.

http://www.advocacy.org.il
Yochevet Branigan works with an Israel socio/economic rights organization; sounds like a sort of Newark Project (Tom Hayden, USA '60's) emulation.

www.kotl.tv The primary Website for Eliahu Gal-Or eliahu@kotl.tv

who is inter alia the most imaginative and knowlegeable person I've met on the potentials of information-age technology/software. Fluent in Hebrew and Italian, passable in Latin.

R. Avraham Aryeh Trugman has published a book on cycles in the Jewish religious calendar, available from: trugman@netvision.net.il

Ben-Zion Solomon's Website is: http: /www.members.sapphiresoft.net/Ben_Zion_Solomon

Ben-Zion Solomon is among the leading students of R. Shlomo Carlebach.
He may be the most knowlegeable person on RSC's music. His CD- ROM's of RSC Nusach should be quite important.
He is also very knowlegeable on Bratslav niggunim.

Avraham & Leah Sand works in Aromatherapy, from a standpoint of reconstructing biblical traditions. Their Website is: http://www.tiferet.co.il

http://www.artoferetzisrae Various artisans, including Sarah Naftali (silversmith/jeweler) and Bracha Schwartz (ceramics).

ENHANCED:

8 Jan '04 -- 14 Tevet -- a long, steady, light rain day

10 Jan '04 -- 17 Tevet -- a clear night, moon waning

13 Jan '04 -- 19 Tevet -- a warm night with rainclouds

29 Jan '04 -- 6 Shvat -- a bright, sunny day; but one of bitter news.
2 Feb '04 -- 10 Shvat -- 06:00 -- Superbowl Sunday in the USA; just one more day hereabouts. Pale green and pale blue behind dark grey rainclouds. Roosters calling.

3 Feb '04 -- 11--12 Shvat -- A warm grey day, just a dusting of rain, red poppies amongst the foot-high new greens.

5 Feb '04 -- 13 Shvat -- More light rain. I think the *.txt problem was a Yahoo case-sensitive SnAfu (WWII slang: "Situation Normal; etc.") -- Upload file to Website added an Initial Cap to Filename; but File Manager is case-sensitive, so it didn't recognize its own minimal rename.

9 Feb '04 -- 17 Shvat -- The sun felt good today. These houses were built in the 70's of iron-re-inforced concrete, to withstand the occasional potshot, and do trap the cold and damp. But wood fires in an iron stove are lovely. /

> A clear cold night. 24 Feb '04 -- 2 Adar --- A clear cold night.
The birds sang very full this morning, at daybreak. It's been an exceptionally warm day.

================================================================= Well, we must all carry on, together, as best we can.
We ain't got there yet, but it's been a good trip. In good company, with lovely scenery.
