Rachel charmed the rabbi on Friday when she said in her baby-like voice, "Shabbat Shalom!" and he was so gratified when I said she asks for "Shabbat songs" on days of the week that are not Shabbat. I told him I don't know if it's proper to sing those songs on other days of the week but he reassured me that of cours it's OK!
So today during naptime, she had me sing Shabbat songs, which I have defined as "Shabbat Shalom" (and it involves clapping, which she loves to do); Hee-nay-ma-tov-oo-ma-nay-yim (I've spelled this out phonetically) and Lo yisa goy (Hebrew and English versions).
Then for a follow-up she says, "Fly away!"
So I ask you, is there any other Jewish kid who likes to follow up Shabbat songs with Christian gospel?
