[HANASHIR:15685] RE: songs of peace

[Meris Ruzow <meris...>]

Laura - if the theme is ISRAEL, why not do "Shalom Al Yisrael."  There
are even English verses written and then the kids could just sing the
chorus in hebrew.  Let me know if you need it!  
Hope all is well.

As usual, turning to this list is a pleasure.
 
I have been asked to direct a three synagogue youth choir as part of a
weekend I on Israel celebration. This will be part of the shabbat
service - at a conservative synagogue, but they will allow instrumental
accompaniment (piano, guitar). The kids range in age from second to
sixth grade.
 
The theme is peace, and because there will be limited (very) rehearsal
time, they need to be very accessible. My kids (the one reform temple)
don't do hebrew as well as the conservative kids, but I do want a mix.
Any suggestions are welcome.
 
I will probably do Od Yavo, and a Carl STrommen piece called One Earth,
One Sky, but I really would like another Hebrew or Hebrew/English piece
. Thanks for any help. Please feel free to e mail me privately.
