These are samples from a project we embarked upon in partnership together with Kenneth Guilmartin, the founder and composer of Music Together. We developed adaptations of nine of his core songs from the world renowned, syndicated early childhood music curriculum, Music Together. The intention here is to bring together music learning, movement, and Jewish spirituality together on Shabbat that may also be done in coordination with actual classes from Music Together teachers.

Finding God in the Garden

An original song by Dan Singer about being a Jew from Wisconsin.

“A Jew From Wisconsin”

CHORUS 1
I’m a Jew, (He’s a Jew) from Wisconsin (from Wisconsin)
From the galut of galut near Dulut (near Dulut)
I’m a Jew, (He’s a Jew) from Wisconsin (from Wisconsin)
And I’m proud to tell ya of my Northern roots 

VERSE 1

Wisconsin’s Jewish history
Starts in the Northern Territories
Till 1759 the Jews were banned

The first known Jew was Jacob Franks
That fur trader rose up the ranks
In 1794 in Green Bay land

As the years and years unfolded
Our synagogues were molded
By values,Torah, mitzvahs, and midrash

My litvak shul it was established
1890, they demolished
Century later, makin’ way for a new car wash

CHORUS 2

I’m a Jew, (He’s a Jew) from Wisconsin (from Wisconsin)
That’s a Hebrew Brew Crew Jew near Baraboo (near Baraboo)
I’m a Jew, (He’s a Jew) from Wisconsin (from Wisconsin)
And I’m proud to tell ya what our people do

VERSE 2

Harry Houdini was from Appleton
Did ya know he was a rabbi’s son?
A magician and a Midwest Jewish dude

An when ya drink yer Miller Beer
You can toast Golda Meir
‘Cuz in Milwaukee both of them were brewed

Henry Winkler was the Fonze
Now he stands enshrined in bronze
As a tribute to that great show Happy Days

And who’d a thought that Jackie Mason
He was born back in Sheboygan 
Long before his Borsht Belt “oy veys”

[When your watching Gal Gadot
Zach Snyder, dontcha knoo
Made Wonder Woman, he’s not Jewish, but that’s okay.] alternative lyric

CHORUS 3
I’m a Jew, (He’s a Jew) from Wisconsin (from Wisconsin)
That’s a guitar strummin’ Litvak from Oconomowoc (Oconomowoc)
I’m a Jew, (He’s a Jew) from Wisconsin (from Wisconsin)
And I’m proud to tell you how our people rock

[Bob Dylan impersonation]
When you’re chillin’ like Bob Dylan, 
Even though he grew up livin’
North of the border of the freezing cold Twin Ports

Zimmermans hailed from Wisconsin
They enjoyed Camp Herzl often
Back in Webster for his Jewish summer sports

Zucker Abrahams and Zucker
The Blues Brothers and Gene Wilder
Lavern and Shirley, Bridesmaids, Wayne’s World, Back To School

Tommy Boy, Young and the Restless
You can see how long this list is
Jewish producers made Wisconsin gosh darn cool.

CHORUS 4
I’m a Jew, (He’s a Jew) from Wisconsin (from Wisconsin)
That’s a yid with a cheesehead lid fishin’ Lake Arrowhead (lake Arrowhead)
I’m a Jew, (He’s a Jew) from Wisconsin (from Wisconsin)
And I’m proud to tell ya what our people did

CHORUS 5
I’m a Jew, (He’s a Jew) from Wisconsin (from WIsconsin)
That’s a Pack is Back sendak from Fon du Lac (from Fon du Lac)
I’m a Jew, (He’s a Jew) from Wisconsin (from Wisconsin)
And I’m proud to tell you of our big comeback

AF YIDDISH!
Ich bin a Yid (er iz a Yid) fun Viskonsin (fun Viskonsin)
S’iz a yiddle mitn fiddle in a kittle fun Middleton (fun Middleton)
Ich bin a Yid (er iz a Yid) fun Viskonsin (fun Viskonsin)
Ich hob lib tzu zogn vos mir hobn geton 

Most my friends believe in Jesus,
But this Jew believes in cheeses,
‘Cuz I’m a Wisconsin…. Jewish dude….

An’ so I gotta Keep ‘Er Movin’
‘For this song gets disapprovin’
‘Cuz I’m a Wisconsin…. Jewish dude….
