PS22 Chorus sings Psalm to Shlomo Carlebach...

My grandfather had a saying "Amerika gonif," which in Yiddish means "America, you thief," but it's true meaning is something along the lines of "America, you sneaky little sly guy," and he would use to refer to a situation which could only happen in America.

This is one of those.

Here we have a public school, multi-cultural elementary school class singing a Psalm in Hebrew to a Shlomo Carlebach tune.

And then, to top it all of...there's a soloist who breaks out into a rap.

Amerika gonif :-)
