[HANASHIR:11258] Re: songs of peace

[Jennifer Stevens <srtalina...>]

On a cheerier note, you might start with the song "Salaam" which I believe 
was/is popular in summer camps.  At the risk of boring everyone who knows 
the tune, here are lyrics.  It has two parts, is pretty easy to learn/teach, 
and fairly catchy.  These two parts work well together (i.e. one group sings 
first part while other group sings second part). I don't know chords, but 
I'm sure someone on the list does.  Also, I'm not sure who to attribute the 
tune to -- I learned it from Jeff Klepper.

First Part:
Od yavo shalom aleinu
Od yavo shalom aleinu
Od yavo shalom aleinu
V'al kulam

Second part:
Salaam!
Aleinu v'al kol ha-olam
Salaam... salaam...

I recommend some percussive instruments to go along with it (shakers, 
bongos, etc.)  The main reason I suggest this tune is because it mixes the 
Arabic word for peace with Hebrew lyrics -- sort of conveys that many of us 
all want the same thing.

B'shirah,
Jennifer
