Re: Question: Zahavi & Haleecha L'Kesareya

[Caitlin McLaughlin <caitlin...>]

Hi fellow listers. The song refereneced below is a setting of a poem by
Hannah Senesh, an Israeli soldier who died in a military parachuting
operation. David Zehavi wrote the melody to which the poem has been set. 
You may find this song in a number of collections -- try Tara
Publications. Good luck!
