Azriel Rosenfeld explained: Psalm 47 begins with Kol ha-Amim Tik'u, and also contains the verse "Alah Elo-him bi-Teruah, Ha-Shem be-Kol Shofar", so it's a very appropriate introduction to the blowing of the shofar. Brendan Bell suggested the Soncino Psalms. I found the Judaica Press' Tehillim and Art Scroll's Rosh Hashanah, part of a set of holiday books. Also the Birnbaum Mahzor has a note at the bottom of the page with Psalm 47. And I asked a website, maybe OU, and should hear back in a week or so. May you all have a happy new year, Rose =========================================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
