    Non-violence / women songs:
    
    How about "V'Yashvu Ish," a folk song that can be found in the "NFTY
    Chordster"? If I had my chordster here, I could say who wrote it, but
    unless someone can write in before I get back to the temple to look it
    up, I'll have to post it later.
    
    Also, you may want to take a look at the song book, "Rise Up Singing"
    for ideas.  Perhaps the song "Testimony" by Ferron would be a good one.
