Music for Passover

MUSIC FOR PASSOVER
FOUND IN
TRANSCONTINENTAL MUSIC PUBLICATIONS
SONGBOOKS

Passover or Pesach is the Jewish holiday that recalls the deliverance of the Children of Israel from Egypt. The heart of the festival is the retelling of the story during the seder or ritual meal. Children occupy a special place at this meal, which utilizes a book called the Haggadah, thus the music that accompanies the meal is largely children's music.

In the synagogue, specific texts are added to the liturgy during Passover: The Hallel Psalms (Psalms 111 - 118), and readings from Shir HaShirim (Song of Solomon) adorn this festival of the spring harvest. In addition, it is customary to study the little book of ethics titled Pirkei Avot, which is a treasure-trove of pithy sayings to live by. Below is a list of publications from Transcontinental Music containing music appropriate for Passover.

My Jewish World: An Early Childhood Music Curriculum (Book/CD set)

Music can be a wonderfully effective teaching tool for preschool aged children. My Jewish World guides teachers through the process of introducing and utilizing song in the classroom to teach Jewish values.

In her comprehensive and easy to follow book, Judy Caplan Ginsburgh includes twenty-six songs, religious and secular, that will help to facilitate an environment of fun and learning. Each song addresses important Jewish concepts and many use Hebrew words and prayers. Judy provides comments, activities, and creative ideas, specific for each song, which can be used in the classroom to learn about being Jewish every day. The importance of saying the Sh'ma each morning, learning the Hebrew words for colors, understanding body parts, and the value of cooperation are only some of the Jewish concepts touched on in the book.

In addition, Judy Ginsburgh includes a list of suggested books for many of the topics. These books help to reinforce and expand the lessons laid out in the curriculum.

With a helpful glossary of Hebrew and Yiddish terms and the companion music CD, My Jewish World is a wonderful guide to making music significant in the Jewish classroom.
