{"value"=>"<p>This hard cover collection opens and reads from right to left, in Hebrew text style. All material is in Hebrew print, including poetics/lyrics as Hebrew print syllables (reading left to right) under the melody lines. Issued late in 1945 before formation of the State of Israel, this songster opens with a song from the concentration camps, <span class=\"emph\">Ani Ma-amin</span> [“I believe”]. Then there is an informative twenty-page introductory essay in Hebrew, treating the general range of Jewish folk music as well as the particular selections included in this book. According to a listing of contents, the selections have been sorted into topical categories: Lullabies; Songs for Children and School; Love Songs; Songs of Disappointment and Sorrow; Songs of Sabbath and Holidays; Songs of Meditation and Need; Songs of Jest and Joy; and, Dances. That edited topical array belies the actual subject matter for many of the song texts.</p>"}
