2010 Hoot Song (12/4)
SOMEWHERE INSIDE THE VALLEY
(sung to the tune of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow")
Somewhere inside the valley
Way down low,
There's a Temple - a place where
We all really love to go.
Somewhere inside the valley
Hoot time's here,
Time to gather and light the lights
That we hold so dear.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And go to the Hanukkah
Hootenanny.
There's music, games and lots of fun
And tons of food for everyone
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere inside the valley
Children try
To eat up all of the latkes.
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little children try
To eat those latkes
Why, oh why can't I?
Please join us for our annual Hanukkah Hootenanny this Saturday, December 4th, from 3pm to 6pm at our Temple for a wonderful, fun, food-filled afternoon celebrating Hanukah. The cost is only $10.00 per family. Guests are welcome.
Happy Hanukkah.

Simchat Torah(10/1)
SIMCHAT TORAH SERVICE
Friday Oct. 1st. 8:00 PM
Just like all of you, when I think of Simchat Torah, my thoughts turn to... Rap music. So get out your old turntables, start scratching out some LP's while the beatbox is going down, and rap along to this little song:
It's time for Simchat Torah
So let's all do the horah
Don't need to be a schnora
Come celebrate with us.
We will sing and dance, so
Just go and take a chance, bro
and loosen up your stance, yo
Come celebrate with us.
We got something to prove, see
The Rebbe likes to groove, he
is better than a mov-ie
Come celebrate with us
Here is how we role
We take out the Torah scroll
Unravel it from pole to pole
Come celebrate with us
There's music in the air
Our voices raised in prayer
It's wonderful to share
Come celebrate with us.
So let the fun begin
Now that you're rid of all your sins
Ain't no way that you can't win
Come celebrate with us.

The Hoot - a poem (12/12)
But now it’s time for horns to toot
So break out all your finest cups
And raise a glass up to the Hoot
Yes the Hoot – you heard it right
So just put on your finest suit
But don’t you make those pants too tight
‘Cause you’ll be eating at the Hoot
Latkes, bagels, so much more
There may even be some fruit
You never know just what’s in store
When you attend our Temple’s Hoot
There’s games and fun and laughter too
And it doesn’t cost a lot of loot
What else is there for you to do
Then spend some time down at the Hoot
And music , oy, look who we’ve found-
Dean Friedman – he don’t play no flute
A top ten hit, world renowned
We’ve got it all down at the hoot
So call your relatives, call your granny
Call your friends, even that brute
Some call it a Hanukah Hootenany
But at RTPV, it’s just The Hoot
