It’s not in Kiddush Levanah. That’s Dovid Melech Chai v’kayam. The Jury is out on the actual timing. He might have composed the song in Russia a year before that rally. I am in the process of contacting one of the rally organizers.   All best, GZB

Re: Four Quesions on Am Yisroel Chai

Shlomo Carlebach wrote the popular melody in the 60's when the leaders of the Soviet Jewry Movement (Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry) came to him and asked him to compose an anthem.  This can be verified by Avi Weisz of the Hebrew Institute of Rivendale who spoke at Shlomo's levaya and mentiione

Re: Four Quesions on Am Yisroel Chai

The biblical phrases that do contain "Am-" in connection with "Yisrael" seem to further negate the notion of an "independent people" inasmuch as they are always combined with a pronoun (usually referring to God). Thus we find Amcha Yisrael, Ami Yisrael and Amo Yisrael, but no A

en keloheynu

Khaveyrim, I was looking in the 1931 edition of The Jewish Community Songster and found En Keloheynu, the usual tune that people on this list have characterized as a "German drinking tune". In this book it is attributed to J. Freudenthal. Is this true, and what can anyone tell me about him?

La Rosa Enflorece
