[HANASHIR:15771] Re: early Torah songs

[Josh Miller <jmiller...>]

Brian,

There is a song called "Or La-goyim" written by Chava Mirel whose opening 
lyrics are "And God said to Abraham". I think it won a NFTY song 
competition in the late eighties/early nineties. It's all in English and 
has a catchy melody, so I think it would go over fine with grades 2-4.

Here's a link to lyrics that I found on-line.

Let me know if you'd like help learning how the tune/chords go.
