[HANASHIR:10729] Re: Tree song successes and a Purim song request

[ilana axel <iaxel...>]

I hate to be so prim, but, please note that the song
MUST start with the phrase LAkova sheli, and not
HAkova sheli, (both times it appears)otherwise, you
are teaching incorrect Hebrew.
Thanks for the Hebrew moment, I believe the rest of
the song is already on this list this morning!
If anyone needs the melody sung to them over the
phone, give a call, it is different than the English
melody.
