[HANASHIR:1648] Help w/program notes

[Carol Leon <cbleon...>]

Next week, my 4th graders are singing Lo Yisa Goi and Lo Alecha at the 
Fri night service.  I want to have 2 children announce the song and give 
a very brief description (2 sentences?) of what they're singing and why 
it's important.  I've got the literal translations:

Lo Alecha-It is not your duty to complete the work.  But neither are you 
free to desist from it.

Lo Yisa Goi-Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor ever 
again shall they train for war.

What would you have a child say that's meaningful and understandable to 
themselves and to the other children at the service and possibly 
includes a very brief history of the music?  Thanks for your ideas!  -- 
Carol
