{"value"=>"<p>This little songster opens and reads right to left in Hebrew print style. However, in addition to a Hebrew text preface, there are the following introductory materials in English: two prefatory statements; and, brief notes about some of the songs. There is no table of contents, but the selections are given in topical sections: Dances; Trails of the <span class=\"emph\">Haapala</span> [sic. Heights]; Lining Up Before the Battle; Days of Youth; and, Sufferings of Exile. The booklet was intended for young men and women in the Israeli defense training forces, and the songs reflect that mindset. Poetics/lyrics appear in Hebrew print syllables (reading left to right) under the melody lines. Hebrew print verses either precede or follow the music. One song is for two-part singing (SA), and one has guitar chord markings. All titles are given in English as well as Hebrew, but the citations for sources are only in Hebrew. The musical transcriptions vary widely in style and appearance. There are photographs and drawings, as well as a decorative cover in yellow and red.</p>"}
