Re: Re: Jewish Folk Music?...Adon Olam, et al

The "traditional" melody to "Ve-shamru done in many Conservative and
Reform congregations, as well as some Orthodox congregations (which uses
the line "veshamru benei yisrael....... berit olam" as a chorus and
constructs three stanzas out of the remaining verses) was originally
composed in the very holy community of Camp Ramah in Wisconsin, written
not as a liturgical setting but as a song for  a camp play at some point
in the 1950's.
