[HANASHIR:7570] Re: all the parsha names?

[QuelliPG <QuelliPG...>]

when I was a child (many moons ago) I served some time at an Orthodox day 
school.  Among the positive things that I remember was that we had a 
wonderful song - medley of songs, actually - to all the parshiyot.  Each of 
the 5 books of the Torah was set to a different melody... 
I honestly couldn't name all 5 original songs (just 3 of them) but would be 
happy to sing them for you on the phone if you call me at 972 818-2660.  
(central time zone) during the day or between 9-11pm is best.  I always use 
this as an example of using music to memorize facts, etc.  in my workshop I 
give called "the magical, musical classroom".  Because of this song which I 
learned in 4th grade, to this day I can name the parshiyot in order (or know 
what parsha comes each week...)  I have a great one for the 50 United States 
in alphabetical order too... :)

happy to help,
Raquel Gershon
