[HANASHIR:4073] Hebrew question words

[Wendy Goldberg <wendy.goldberg...>]

This is not the Debbie Friedman song you were looking for but here's a song 
that I got this summer from Barbara Stambler, who is a treasure.  It's been 
fabulous in my third grade classroom.  Sorry if the chords don't line up 
perfectly.  I did type it out with Hebrew for all of the Hebrew words 
instead of transliteration, but since it is a DavkaWriter file, I'm not 
sending it now.  If you want a hard copy of it with Hebrew included.  Let 
me know and I'll send one to you (include your address).

Best wishes,

Wendy Goldberg
