Song: Sham Shualim Yesh

Kadish Yehuda Leib Silman (1880–1937) was a Hebrew writer and satirist. Born near Vilna, Silman taught in the first school in Vilna in which Hebrew was the language of instruction, and later directed a “modern heder” in Gomel. In 1907 he immigrated to Palestine , and was among the founders of both Tel Aviv and the Bet ha-Kerem neighborhood in Jerusalem. Anticipating the “musical postcards” later distributed by the Jewish Agency, he wrote a series of poems, stories, and articles from Palestine which he published in newsletters under the general title “Mikhtavim el Ah” (Letters to a Brother) and distributed widely. In addition to humor, parody and satire intended for adult audiences, he also published several books for children containing many folk songs (one published with musical notes in 1928), and contributed original or translated lyrics for many of the tunes. The melody for “Sham Shu’alim Yesh” is well known in many circles as a children’s song for the holiday of Sukkot. In that song, a child asks his father what why they must build a sukkah; here, the “sukkah” motif returns when the boy explains that the revolver he will use to chase out the fox is under a mat “in the sukkah.” The reference to “foxes” hints at the destruction of Jerusalem that Jeremiah laments (Lamentations 5:18); the pioneers saw their efforts as fulfillment of the prophetic vision that Jerusalem would be restored to its ancient splendor.
