[HANASHIR:13787] Purim Song Search

[Yonatan Y. Koch <listmember...>]

Hi there,

While we're on the topic of song searching. The music teacher at my school
asked me for a list of songs (and lyrics if available) about Purim/Pesach
that she can teach to the multireligious students. Is there a book of Jewish
Holiday songs that you could reccomend containing the songs and music?

Thank you
Yonatan Y. Koch

suggestions!
