[HANASHIR:4432] new question re Puff



After reading the words, which are definitely cute, I started to wonder about 
how to teach this song in a Reform congregation. I am upset when people think 
Reform Jews can't or shouldn't keep kosher and bench and so on, but I also 
don't like when kids feel obligated to do things before they understand them, 
and with this song, I'm worried they might be. Probably a stupid concern, but 
how do I preface the song. Do I say that these are things some people do to 
feel close to G-d, and we can choose what makes us feel close to G-d, or is 
that putting down these traditions. Let me know what you think
Thanks,
Joel
