Re: Yismekhu or Yismechu

[Sandra Layman <sandralayman...>]

Your tune is "Yismekhu [yismechu] hashamayim" (spellings will vary), not
"Yismekhu bemalkhutekha." Tricky, eh? I hope that helps you pinpoint a
source for sheet music. :-)

Try a Google search for "yismechu." You'll get lots of hits and might find
what you need.

Best,
Sandra
