[HANASHIR:10073] Re: "good and evil" theme songs

[Andy Curry <acurry...>]

With due respect to most of the suggestions so far, they seem to be focused
toward children.  The subject of good and evil is an adult subject when
discussed among adults.

Our liturgies deal with good and evil in many places and ways.  Here are
just a few which are generally sung or prayed silently:

V'haer Enenu (v'lo nevosh - we shall never be shamed)
Hashkivenu (remove the satan, the adversary, from before us)
Alenu (when idolatry shall be no more, etc.)
Al Chet, Avinu Malkenu, Vidui (these should be fresh in our minds)
Elokai N'tzor L'shoni Mera (closing prayer of the Amidah)

Shabbat shalom,
Andy
