[HANASHIR:7254] Re: Thanksgiving songs

There is a version of "Shehecheyanu" that is great for young children -- it 
might be in Manginot ( I actually have not had time yet to look through my 
book).  I don't know who wrote it or where you can get the music....but I am 
sure someone on the list can help.  Or I would be happy to sing it to you over 
the phone.  Let me know.

The lyrics go like this:  Chorus:   We say shehecheyanu, thank you G-d, for 
every kind of happiness and joy, 
                                                 We say shehecheyanu, thank you 
G-d, for giving life to every girl and boy.
                                
                                        For the times when I try something new, 
like learning how to swim or tie my shoe
                                        At the start of every holiday, there is 
a very special blessing that we say.

                                                -Repeat chorus-

                                         
           There is another verse, but I am suddenly drawing a blank. Then the 
chorus is repeats.
   
Good luck!

  I teach preschool music at synagogue preschools.  I am looking for songs I 
can use during Thanksgiving that have a Jewish emphasis.  I'm familiar with the 
ones in the Manginot.
