[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
