[HANASHIR:2704] Eli Eli

[Judah Cohen <jcohen...>]

Here's an interesting example of a transformed name.  Although the song has
gained a popular title as "Eli Eli," from its opening lyrics and now
appears as such in a number of songbooks (especially in the Reform
movement), its original title (I believe) is the much less memorable
"Halicha L'Kesaria" ("Walking to Caesaria").  I've seen both titles used
with relative frequency--so if you're looking for specific materials, try
searching under both names.

Judah.

enjoyed it." -- Daniel Miller, "Modernity--an Ethnographic Approach" (p. 6)
