This song was sung by all attendees of the 2006 Board Installation Brunch, which was bright in spirit, despite a power outage due to high winds that day! (that's why the photo is so dark.)(To read the story about the installation brunch, click here.)
Jimmy, Jayme
(Sung to the tune of "Jimmy Mack", recorded by Martha & the Vandellas)
CHORUS:
Jimmy, Jayme.
Oh, you'll get the knack.
Shelly's not comin' back.
Co-Presidents are two fine masters.
Shelly now will lead other pastures.
We send her off with all of our love.
Our congregation has much to be proud of.
CHORUS
We've a strong social action committee.
Adult Ed just makes us giddy.
Our Toastmasters teach us to speak.
Meditation meets every week.
We are concerned about Nigerian Jews.
About Israel and political views.
We started now a new chapter of Hazak.
Our youth director says we really rock.
CHORUS
We have minyans where Kaddish is said.
Sometimes we don't, if we stay too long in bed.
We could use more funds in the kitty,
And a chair for the Ways and Means Committee.
Built the sukkah better than ever.
"Thanksgiving Sing" was a new endeavor.
On Chanukah, we were packin' and playin',
The board should feel there's no need for "oy-vey"in'
CHORUS
Our sense of art is so controversial.
Some say it's "nice" and some - "too commercial".
But after packing dishes and soxes
We have a shul decorated with boxes.
CHORUS
Okay, we need more volunteers,
Need more members and more committee chairs.
Of the problems, we will never be free
But singing helps so join in with me.
CHORUS
