[HANASHIR:16034] Re: Songs to Teach Prophets

[QuelliPG <QuelliPG...>]

Adrian,
at our 2nd grade chagigat hatanach, we do songs about Yehoshua, Shimshon and 
David.   For Yehoshua, we have a song "tipli bishvili" that one of our 
teachers wrote to the melody of the song "kisses for me" and we do "joshua 
fought the 
battle at jericho" - our only English song.   For Shimson we do "haperach 
b'gani" which is really just an Israeli/Yemenite love song (in this case 
between 
Samson and Delilah) and "ish hayah b'yisrael - shimshon sh'mo".    For David 
we do "v'David Y'feh Einayim" and Carlebach's "David Melech Yisrael".   For 
intro we sing "asher bachar" (bin'vi-im tovim...) which I wrote the melody for 
and for conclusion we sing "etz chaim hi" - the one with the shalom shalom and 
clapping - but only the hebrew part.    Feel free to call me for any of the 
melodies   if you're interested   and if you have any additional songs about 
those three men specifically, or any other general songs about Nevi-im, I would 
love to have them as well!
thanks,
Raquel Gershon
