Merry Menorah theme song:
“Come Together”
~John Lennon
Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please.
He wear no shoeshine, he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger, he shoot coca-cola
He say “I know you, you know me”
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me
He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me
He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water, he one mojo filter
He say “One and one and one is three”
Got to be good-looking ’cause he’s so hard to see
Come together right now over me

The Christmas Menorahs: How a Town Fought Hate
by Janice Cohn, Bill Farnsworth (Illustrator)
In Billings, Montana, a Menorah displayed in boy’s bedroom prompted someone to throw a rock through the window. The resulting true story of one town’s fight against bigotry is the subject of this award-winning “fine book for parents and teachers who want to discuss prejudice and hate crimes with their children.”
From a book review: “This true story of how the people of one town – Billings, Montana – acted to oppose hatred and bigotry one holiday season, hanging paper menorahs in their windows en-masse, moves me to tears every time I read it. Accompanied by Bill Farnsworth’s luminous winter scenes, The Christmas Menorahs offers a powerful meditation on the possibilities for tolerance and peace. While this beautiful tale is not about the holiday of Christmas itself, it has always struck me that it perfectly embodies that love which is the best and highest manifestation of the Christian faith, and the “Christmas Spirit.”
