[HANASHIR:10408] Re: tzedakah songs

[Meris <meris...>]

Penny in the Pushka is a wonderful song from the book "Help us Bake a
Challah" by Elayne Robinson Grossman & Daniel Grossman available from Tara.
I love that book and have used many of the songs from it for my childrens'
choirs.  Other great songs from there are:  To the Bet Knesset, (talks about
things you find at shul), Night Time (beautiful).  That's 3 songs from one
book!  Not bad!

  There is a folk song called the "Magic Penny" that's very cute.  Two other
Jewish songs come to mind, "Penny in the Pushke" and the chorus of Craig
Taubman's "Every Little Bit Counts."  I am not sure where to find the first
two I mentioned (I am sure someone from this list will), but I know you can
contact Craignco for his song.

  Good luck!  I look forward to hearing what the rest of the list comes up
with!

    We are looking for one or two simple songs on the theme of tzedakah for
our pre-school. Something that could be sung while the pushke is passsed
around on friday mornings. Any suggestions?
