Re: A call for songs for a bereavment camp



Dear Jonathan,

I would suggest you include Shefa Gold's chant: Mah Gadlu Ma'asecha Yah. It
is easy to learn, has two parts (a bass halleluyah) plus the chant line.
Very powerful.

I would also recommend, from R. Aryeh Hischfield's tape: Wings of Peace, a
part of Psalm 23, Gam Ki Eylech. And his Healing song: (based on Moshe's
prayer for Miriam): Ana Eyl Na Refah na lah... I've used this and his
Pitchu Li  (also on this tape) at bedside for the sick and dying... The
phone for getting the tape is (503) 482-8806. I'd personally love to know
if you can get the chords for these... <smile>

Good luck.
