Music
Characteristic songs are "Give a Little Tzedakah" and various tracks encouraging keeping kosher. For example, the following is an excerpt from one of his songs (sung partially to the tune of "Ten Little Indians"):
- Throw away your ham and bacon
- I won't eat it, you're mistaken.
- I'm a Jew and I'm not fakin'
- I eat only kosher.
- So every time you're in the market,
- Only get food with the kosher sign on it.
- It's good for me and its good for you
- And what do you know: Hashem loves it too!

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“Franceska: I was happy in the life I built up for myself. I put a fine high wall of music around me and nothing could touch me. I was safe and secure. And then you had to come along and knock it all down and I hate you for that.
Maxwell: On the contrary, you love me.”
—Muriel Box (b. 1905)
“... the majority of colored men do not yet think it worth while that women aspire to higher education.... The three R’s, a little music and a good deal of dancing, a first rate dress-maker and a bottle of magnolia balm, are quite enough generally to render charming any woman possessed of tact and the capacity for worshipping masculinity.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“The sound of tireless voices is the price we pay for the right to hear the music of our own opinions. But there is also, it seems to me, a moment at which democracy must prove its capacity to act. Every man has a right to be heard; but no man has the right to strangle democracy with a single set of vocal chords.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
