Zionist songs by Leonard Bernstein?



I just got the November/December 2000 issue of Strings magazine in
the mail yesterday, and there's an article on page 15 on "New Plans
at the 92nd Street Y".  Towards the end of the article it mentions
"... a program of Zionist songs composed by Kurt Weill, Leonard
Bernstein, and Darius Milhaud."

Is anyone on the list familiar with Leonard Bernstein's Zionist
songs?  The closest thing I can think of is "There's a Place For Us"
from _West_Side_Story_, a beautiful slow hora melody with lyrics
that are not explicitly Zionist but can be so construed.
