we learned it in the early sixties from our amazing third grade teacher Miss Esther Kayla cohen and it was exactly the way Strawberry Cola posted, except I am not sure about the grow/glow debate.

A Little Bird is Calling, according to an article I read in Binah Magazine, was composed by Mrs Malka Steinberg Saks together with, I believe, a niece or cousin of hers. It was in the late 1940s, colorwar at Camp Bais Yaakov, The teams were Tziyon and Yerushalayim and she wrote it for Team Yerushalayim.


Wow… early 60’s! Camp BY in the 40’s??!! This is fascinating!
I thought I was one of the older ones here…

I remember a slightly different version - changes in blue:

In a little town in Poland
Not so many years ago
Lived the mother of Bais Yaakov
May her memory always glow.
Lived the mother of Bais Yaakov
May her memory always glow


In a little shop in Poland
Sat a seamstress, very sad
Sewing clothes for the body
While the soul was unclad.
Sewing clothes for the body
While the soul was unclad


Bais Yaakov started there in Poland
In a tiny little store
But with Sarah as its leader
Its success began to soar.
But with Sarah as its leader
Its success began to soar


Sarah. mother of Bais Yaakov
Is with us no more
But her spirit will continue
To live with us forever more.
But her spirit will continue
To live with us forever more

Yes! This is the song I knew
