[HANASHIR:13891] Re: Israeli classics in English

[Joy Newman <joyzee...>]

The Shireinu Chordster has what I believe is an excellent sing-a-ble English 
translation to David Broza's Yihiyeh Tov.  While not a "traditional" Israeli 
song, it certainly applies to today's world.

The Shireinu Chordster also has a pretty good sing-a-ble 1st verse to Al Kol 
Ele.  I like it!

P.S.  I would LOVE to know if others have found great sing-a-ble 
translations as well.  I find them to be great for kids at camp because it 
enables the children to learn the melody and chorus of great Jewish songs, 
without the frustration of stumbling over the Hebrew verses.
