{"value"=>"<p>This collection of English, Hebrew, and Yiddish songs was prepared for youth and adult singing groups at Jewish community centers. Given in clear melody lines, each selection has a brief English heading, then a transliterated text under the music, followed on the page by additional verses in Hebrew print or romanized Yiddish. A guide to transliterations of Hebrew and Yiddish may be found on the inside front cover. An alphabetical index is on the inside back cover. The brief foreword is followed by a table of contents presenting all the song materials topically within two broad categories: 1. Holidays and Festivals - Friday Eve; Sabbath; <span class=\"emph\">Oneg Shabbat; Sukkoth and Simhat Torah; Hanukkah; Hamishah Asar B'shvat; Purim;</span> Passover; <span class=\"emph\">Lag B'omer; Shevuoth;</span> and <span class=\"emph\">Tisha B'av.</span> 2. General Occasions - Children's Favorites; Dances; Rounds and Ground Bass Songs; Yiddish Folk; Palestinian Songs of Love, Land, and Toil; Songs of Resistance, Courage, and Hope. Over the years since its initial preparation, this small yet comprehensive song collection has been popular at camps, schools, synagogues, as well as community centers. There is additional material on the inner sides, back and front, of the soft cover. Often reprinted, this little songster has been widely circulated throughout North America.</p>"}
