Hello all,

The Mitzvah Goreret I know (which is popular in the camp scene) was written 
by Rabbi Andy Vogel (c) 1986 and is in the old NFTY Chordster and Shireinu.

Camp Swig has two CDs out on the market (and a third on the way):

Shir Milibienu (1984, its the reddish-orange one) and
Shir L'Yom Chadash (1998, has a sunrise on the cover).

The L'cha Dodi and Mitzvah Goreret to which Meris is referring are both on 
Shir L'Yom Chadash...
