I also heard those words at caje in LA many years ago. Linda Robbins ran
a class about a Reform Day School in LA and they had lots of time to
integrate Israeli songs.  She had many songs that had Hebrew choruses
and nicely themed translations for the longer verses.   "T'fillah" was
another as was "Od Lo Ahavti Dai."
Here's to a happy  & healthy 2003!

I think Larry is correct that Shimon Gerwitz did the "Men have dreamed" 
translation to Bashana.  We also intermingle the hebrew with the
English, much 
as Larry does, when we sing it at my school.
