Re: Old Zionist Songs

[Rita Klinger <rklinger...>]

I also have a VERY old copy of _Songs of Our People_ ed. by Samuel 
Bugatch, and published (1951) by Farband Books, NY. I have no idea where 
you might find it today!

You might also try the Israel Information Bureau. The often publish 
"songsters" for youth groups and tour groups. I have an old one called 
"B'Kol Ram" filled with (alas) only the words to numerous Zionist songs.

Good luck.
