Ask me anything you want.

What IS Jaala?

What instruments do you play?

What is your favorite holiday?

[jaala]

Jaala is a name I found in a name dictionary. (I found my other online pseudonym, Ishbel, in a name dictionary as well.) Back in the day when the entire site was accessible for free, I liked the description of Jaala here. According to Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary, it means "ascending" or "a little doe or goat". Jael means "to ascend" in Hebrew so I'm guessing Jaala is Hebrew as well. It also provides a handy-dandy system for assigning pseudonyms in my journal because my real name starts with the next letter (K).

My primary instrument is flute, not because I have any great preference for the instrument but because almost no one in my Grade 6 class volunteered to play flute. But hey, it makes music. I also play piano, recorder, clarinet, oboe, bassoon, saxophone, fife, pennywhistle, accordion, and harmonica at varying levels of proficiency. And I love singing but really need some individual voice training so I don't strain myself trying to project.

When I'm able to attend church, my favourite holiday is the whole Easter season (Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Passover, Pentecost). I like it because because of the progress through the days and because it's not so commercialized as Christmas. Yes, we do have some observance of Passover in the United Church.
