Young Saul at Shabbat Camp

Actually, what Saul wrote was a song (to the tune of the classic ‘Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah’)

Hello Muddah,  Hello Faddah,

Here I am at Camp Masada,

It is very inspiring,

And they say we’ll have good fun

after perspiring.

The food here isn’t manna

Every breakfast a banana

Or we can have a sandwich

sand made or mud,

I can’t tell which.

We’ve memorized

So many laws

And practiced stoning,

I need some gauze.

Do I have to

love my neighbor?

He’s so full of

Bad Behavior,

And his snoring

Wakes the whole camp

I’m wondering where’s

The exit ramp

Chorus

Take me home

O Muddah Faddah

I’ll behave

After Masada

—–

I filafel

As I’m writing

But your arrival

Is exciting.

I can almost smell

your Matzos bread

And envision

My normal bed.

Chorus
