My synagogue, Congregation Beth Am in Los Altos, California, sings this with almost the same lyrics and melody! When we do in this on the retreats, people actually have to lift stuff off the table to make sure it doesn't spill from the strength with which we pound the tables!!
Wow this brings me back, I went to Crane Lake camp which is a only a few hours drive away from Camp Harlam and we did this the exact same way! This video really captures the vibe perfectly as I remember it :)
Banging also brings an element of a play and cute mischief when done by young people; not talking about it (the banging) being a centuries long tradition
Banging on the table is a very naturral human move when singing....there's a rhytm and a tempo to a song, and it's mainted and enforced with drumming no the table
How fun! This is going to make it so much easier to teach to our kids (we're converting). After you guys said the first portion, where do you pic up at? I've been trying to figure it out, but since I'm new at all this, I can't make out what you're saying because of all the noise. Cute!
Très sympathique que sont devenus ces trois jeunes gens aujourd'hui ? Pouvez-vous me donner des nouvelles de vous ? août 2020 ! Comme le temps passe vite.
Oui, j'suis curieux aussi. Sa dernière video est de 2013, et je ne pense pas que elle utilise ce channel desormais. Je me souviens des choses comme celle-ci de URJ... il y a des fois que je ne peux pas retourner...
I have one question and one comment: Is there any significance to the banging the hands on the tables? On Purim it is done to blot out the name of Haman. Why do it during the Birkat Hamazon? Or is it just for fun? And, It is wonderful to hear this. Thank you.
Andre Roman 1)i love your spelling 2) yes, but these people arent particularly religious or may be a branch of judaism where it isnt necessary, so they choose nt to
Brings me back to Camp Tel Yehuda in...yes I'm old...1981. Thanks for posting!

when you read it over and over, you eventaully remember. But it's good to still read it. I like the NCSY Bencher :)
very interesting, I go to Camp Harlam and we sing it a little differently. We also have very different hand motions.

Crane lake was the best

This is the same song that Camp Coleman does except faster and differently. This brings back memories
at jacobs camp in mississippi, we do it like that, but we don't hit the table as much as you guys do
We still dont hit the table that much, and its still the exact same at jacobs in 2019 😀

Also, idk if u r a Camp Harlam person, or a urj camp person, but in Camp Harlam everyone wears white.
@@ethanfastag-rosenfield3957 well in most camp it is common - but not mandatory tho.
