[HANASHIR:7005] Re: sukkot music?

[Ellen Allard <ellen...>]

Ethan,

I wrote and recorded a song for Sukkot which has a very singable chorus is
real easy for people to sing.

Here are the words. If you're interested in obtaining more info about it,
let me know.

THE ROOF OF OUR SUKAH

Chorus:
Twinkling stars see them shine through the roof of our sukah
Twinkling stars see them shine see them twinkle so bright.
Twinkling stars see them shine through the roof of our sukah
Twinkling stars see them shine see them twinkle so bright.

Sukah so high, sukah so wide,
beautiful inside beautiful outside. Chorus

Apples and pears and pumpkins and gourds hanging off of the ceiling, hanging
off of the walls. Chorus

Lulav tall, etrog small, green and yellow thank God for all. Chorus

Everyone¹s welcome inside our sukah, baruch haba, baruch haba. Chorus

Good luck!
