Dear Phil:

Thank you for contacting Sounds Write Productions, Inc. for permission to adapt Debbie Friedman's composition Birchot Havdalah for use in the Israeli dance community, with the folk dance choreographed by Ravi Ziv.  We understand that you have modified the existing cut of this song from Debbie’s recording THE WORLD OF YOUR DREAMS, on an MP3, and wish to make it available to other dance instructors.  As Debbie's publisher we are delighted that you have used Debbie’s music in this way.  We are always pleased when her compositions are given the opportunity to reach more people.

Because the MP3 will not be for sale, there is no royalty due.  If future copies are made for sale, please contact us again, and we will draft the appropriate license and fee agreement. 

You have our permission to use the one (1) song listed above and ask that you credit Debbie in the following way:
RecordTitle/No.	“Birchot Havdalah” from THE WORLD OF YOUR DREAMS
	Modified version used with permission
Music by	Debbie Friedman
Lyrics from	Havdalah liturgy
Artist	Ó 1976 Deborah Lynn Friedman  (ASCAP)

In addition, we request that you include in the email you plan to send to friends and colleagues in the Israeli dance community, the following:

“For information on obtaining permissions or licenses for the use of Birchot Havdalah by Debbie Friedman , or any of her compositions, on audio or video recordings or for public performances, contact Sounds Write Productions, Inc. at:  soundswrite@aol.com  or

Thank you for sending me the demo copy of the MP3 you have made, containing both variations of the dance.  It is important for me to be aware of any use of Debbie’s music, so I greatly appreciate your cooperation.  I hope your colleagues enjoy using the MP3 to teach the dance!

B'shalom,
