Translation:*To the tune of "When the Saints Go Marching In"*
Oh when the Jews! (Response) Oh when the Jews! Go wash their hands! (Response) Go wash their hands! Together: Oh when the Jews go wash their hands... They say al netilat yadaim! Oh when the Jews go wash their hands! Oh when the Jews! (Response) Oh when the Jews! Go wash their eyes! (Response) Go wash their eyes! Together: Oh when the Jews go wash their eyes... They say al netilat einaim! Oh when the Jews go wash their eyes! (Continue with further witty rhymes for "yadaim." Examples include feet, ears, teeth, the sky, 2000, Ephraim, and more.) | |
Information:A song often sung during long-lined netilot yadaim to keep youngsters engaged, this jaunty, clever tune is known in Jewish summer camps across the United States. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go wash my bicycle—don't worry, I'll make the proper "al netilat ophanaim" berakha. | |
