[HANASHIR:5740] Re: Jerusalem songs

[Naomi Hirsch <nhirsch...>]

Robbi,
A favorite of mine is Shlomo Carlebach's "U-va-u Haovdim."  It is very
upbeat and the chorus is just one word: Birushalayim!  Good luck.  It sounds
like it will be an amazing experience for you, the kids, and everyone who
will hear them.
