You know you want to sing and shout it: Am Yisrael Chai!

This Hebrew song literally means the People of Israel live. Every Jewish sleep away camper learns this (as do many others).

I love this song. It was originally written in Yiddish but has been translated into many languages, including English & recorded by some famous musicians, incl Joan Baez.

My favorite lines are at the end of the song:

Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why.
But whoever treasures freedom,
Like the swallow has learned to fly.

This is too familiar. Also , love that this great Jewish youth organization is still around! When I was younger it was interdenominational. Maybe the denominations could find ways to learn from it, work together more
