[HANASHIR:17105] RE: Tikun Olam list

[Lisa Baydush <LisaB...>]

I have one to add to this list that I discovered when looking for Tu B'shvat
songs.  It's a parody of "A Whole New World" from Disney's Aladdin.  I
taught it to 5-6th graders, and they were delighted to recognize the melody,
and enjoyed singing it.

 

A Whole New World

from "Aladdin"

 

C

It's a beautiful world.

                                              G    

Shining, shimmering, splendid.

Dm                           Am                 Dm                  C

Like a garden, it's tended by a person just like you. 

 

If you open your eyes,

                                                     G  

You'll see where it needs weeding.

Dm                                   Am                     Dm
C      

Pruning, planting and seeding help to turn the earth into.

                          G         

A whole new world.

 C            G                           C

Tikkun olam will guide the way.

                       G                             F               

It means we must repair what's broke out there

         Am                        G  

and put it back together.

                          C  

A whole new world.

               G                              C

Bayom hahu, and on that day

                       G                              F         

When all the work is done, and God is one, 

         Am                              G7                   C

That whole new world will be with us to stay. 

G             C        G7                   C

Tikkun olam-will guide the way; 

              G         G7                    C

Bayom hahu-and on that day;

                              G               F            C

That whole new world will come to stay.

Here are Tikkun Olam-themed songs that I've complied from hanashir 

recommendations that were sent to me:

 

 

"Tikun Olam" by Jill Moskowitz (MIRACLES: Chanukah & Passover Songs For 

Kids)

 

"What is a Mitzvah?" by Barbara Bar-Nissim (Manginot)

 

"Building a Better World" by Peter & Ellen Allard (Sing it! it! Stamp it! 

Sway it! Vol III songbook/CD)

 

"Fixin' The World" by Wally Shachet-Briskin and Craig Rosen (Complete 

Shireinu and Fixin' The World CD)

 

"Share, Share, Share" by Jon & Josh Nelson (My Jewish World songbook/CD)

 

"Be A Mensch!" by Wally Shachet-Briskin (My Jewish World songbook/CD)

 

"You Can Change The World" by Jeff Klepper (Manginot)

 

"Giving" by Fran Avni (Manginot)

 

"Tikkun Olam" by Lisa Baydush

 

 

As my day school likes to sing some songs in Hebrew, I'd like to add to the 

list from Shireinu:

 

1.         Ani V'atah (Gavrelov/Einstein)

2.         Lo Alecha (Klepper/Freedlander)

3.         L'takein-The Na-Na song (Nichols/Klotz)

4.         Yad B'yad (Taubman)

5.         Mitzvah Goreret Mitzvah (Vogel)

6.         Lo Yisa Goi (traditional)

7.         Al Sh'losha D'varim (traditional & Dropkin)

8.         Or Zarua (Klepper)

 

and my own "Tikun Olam" -- mostly English with a line or two of Hebrew.

 

In addition, hanashir members suggested several songs of peace and "Dugit" 

(Yonatan, in Shireinu).  Thanks to all for their suggestions.  I hope others


find them useful as well.
