[HANASHIR:11308] Palestinian Song of Peace

Lest I open up the same can of worms. . .

I get this second hand, but from a reliable source:
At morning services for Hebrew Union College on Thursday, a group that (I
believe) is based at B'nai Jeshurun (i.e., "BJ" in NYC) called
"Storahtellers" (or "STorahtelling") performed a musico-drama in lieu of a
sermon.  During the presentation (which was on a different topic), they also
sang/played what they called a Palestinian song of peace--learned from Pete
Seeger (of all the people, doesn't it just seem so oddly poetic that HE
would be the transmitter of this?) who learned it from a Palestinian artist.
I know little about the song itself, but I'll see what I can find out.

For what it's worth.

Shabbat Shalom.
Judah.
