MY SWEET APOLOGIES TO GEORGE HARRISON, Z"L
בס"ד
Trucking east on I-80 listening to All Things Must Pass it occurred to me that this sincerely devotional chant to the Divine denies access to Jews careful of how they address The Holy One. & why should that be? Just alter some of the nomenclature & we have a perfectly serviceable Chasidic tune...

Considering that George Harrison modified a Sanatana Dhamma chant to Lord Krishna to produce this song, maybe it's doubly troubling in terms of its addressing--or, it is perfectly acceptable. :)
