Attn: Jewish Brides - help with Jewish song

We need help. We need to play the horah at the wedding to do the circle dance and the lifting of us in the chairs. We are not having a DJ and are not sure where to find the song. Any suggestions would be great.

Are you having music? Are you having a band? Any band should be able to play the hora!
I just looked at your profile and saw you are having a reggae band - is that the only band?
I would think that if they've played weddings, they may know a fun reggae version of it - ask them!
If not, I would call some Judaica stores and see if they sell a CD with a nice version of it!

I would call Zion Lion in New Hyde Park and i am sure that they would have it. If not go into Yahoo and type Hora and see what comes up - there must be somewhere to download it from.

The songs they usually play are Hava Negila, SimanTov/ Mazel Tov, Oseh Shalom or even L'Chaim from 'Fiddler on the Roof '

Thank you all. We will look into all of this, I think we were spelling it wrong. So the hora is a dance not a specific song?

Re: Attn: Jewish Brides - help with Jewish song

The hora is the circle dance where the bride and groom are lifted on the chairs. There is a specific song that they play, however, there are different versions of the song. There is a version that i have heard that has a mixture of many songs and it sounds great. If you call Zion Lion they will definitely help you out - they are very nice!!
