[HANASHIR:8844] Re: Yom HaShoah Lesson

[Meris Ruzow <meris...>]

Tara Publications has all the sheet music for the Yom Hashaoah songs.  Just
type in the composer and their books will be listed.   Yesh Kochavim is in
the hardbound songbook of Kol B'Seder but beware - it is not transcribed
exactly as it sounds on the tape... But it's no big deal to figure out the
difference.
