Someone once noted that the sign of a _great_ Jewish song is one that
people think are miSinai.  It's amazing how quickly some songs reach that
status (some, such as some Carlebach tunes (Am Yisroel Chai, comes to mind)
have only been around 30-40 years or so).

And, thanks J.Klepper, for your very interesting post on Birkat Hamazon!
