Dear Terri -
There's Safam's "Judah Maccabee" (found on album "Sons of Safam" and in print
Songs of Safam. As I look through that book and their Safam Songbook there
are many that are about heroes and heroism - "Brother on Brother" about Jacob
and Esau; "Falasha Nevermore"; "Jonathan"; "Leaving Mother Russia"; "Soldiers
of Conscience," "Yamit" "Amnesty" etc.
Doug Cotler has a "Joseph and his Coat" song - Doug Cotler Songbook
In NFTY's Fifty - Peter Yarrow - Light One Candle and Doug Mishkin - Make
Those Waters Part
Old Folk Song - Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho
David Melech Yisrael
Then there's good old Coopersmith - check out the "Biblical and Historical
Songs" where there are ones about Noah, Eliezer and Rebecca, Yochebed, Moshe,
etc.
And any of the versions of "Im Ayn Ani Li Mi Li" would do for Hillel.
Hope this helps.
Alice
