Sorry to post a personal message to all. I'm used to another bulletin board

him for it, his email address is JRosove (at) aol(dot)com(dot)Let us know what

A comment was made about hearing the words of Psalm 150 sung with the 
"Hall'lu." 
One version with the words appears on B'nei Jeshurun's C.D. "With Every 
Breath". 
Does anyone know Elvis Presley Purim songs ? I would greatly appreciate 
it.
