Introduction:

This song was originally written by Lisa Litman and Kathy Hirsh Pasek for preschools in the Philadelphia area to sing at a commemoration of Israel’s 50th birthday. It is a round in three parts. During the Philadelphia commemoration in 1998, 650 preschool students sang this song-- It was quite moving. Try having students sing this round at your school.
