Dear Bente, you sing directly into my heart and forgive me for not being able to listen to your voice in public, just cry bucketloads....I know one thing that 1/4 jew in me simply will be a part of my final prayer whether the Shema or a Catholic act of faith. We need this memory badly now when the tourches are licking our synagogues again here in Scandinavia....

Absolutely breath-taking. Thank you so much, Bente. You are my inspiration!
