[HANASHIR:4547] RE: Chanukah Songs and songleading

Another great Chanukah piece for the little ones is Craig Taubman's "Candle
in the Middle."   You should definitely use the original recording for this
one.  Kids can dance along.  YOu can echo the entire song . Lots of fun.   I
think it's on one of the "Newish Jewish" cd's.   Fran Avni's also terrific
for a whole slew of traditional/hebrew chanukah pieces.
