Does anyone know a source (for lyrics to songs used in Israeli folk
dancing)?
I understand there's a newsletter called "The Grapevine" from California
that gives the lyrics to a song in each (monthly) issue. Right now, I
don't have subscription info, but I can find out and post if you want. I
don't know of any other source.

Israeli Dance Institute in NYC. They also include the lyrics AND dance
syllabus to a dance in each issue.
The address in NYC is:
ISRAELI DANCE INSTITUTE, JCRC--12th FLOOR
711 Third Avenue
New York, NY 10017
An annual subscription is currently $12 a year (3 issues). Along with this
you will also receive the invaluable (at least I find it so) Clearinghouse
Calendar 6 times a year with information on Israeli dance events (as well as
some International workshops). I believe you also receive the most recent
copy of the "Where to Dance" listing for an additional $5 listing where
there is Israeli dancing all over the United States and around the world
(not comprehensive, though).
Good luck!

Dancers have put out books over the years that contain some of the
dances' words.
Andy Tannenbaum
v'od zemer"), from Kinneret Publishing in Israel. It comes in 5
volumes, 200 songs per. It has the words (in Hebrew) to many popular
songs which have dances to them.
I have a copy of the songbook from "Washington's Tenth Annual Memorial
Day Israeli Folkdance Weekend" on disk - I scanned it in myself, I've
proofread the scan, but it probably still has errors.
I don't know how old the songbook is, you can judge by the contents.
The file contains 380 songs, mostly words to Israeli folk dances, in
English transiliteration (index attached below). On one hand, I didn't
compile this work, so it's not my right to share it, on the other
hand, it's a compilation of the "for educational use" variety, so I
think I should be able to share it in that spirit.
I sure would be interested to hear of other compilations of words
to Israeli folk dance tunes, especially more recent ones.

Thanks for the added info/correction. My previous was based on something a
something a friend told me. I've since seen an issue, and it's
correct that the lyrics are an occassional thing. L'hit ra'ot.
