Text Information

• First Line: Once there were three wandering Jews
• Title: Three Wandering Jews
• Publication Date: 1988
• Notes: [Current oral tradition in the congregation for which this booklet was prepared has the opening line of each stanza repeated once. The final stanza often has "Canaan's land" in place of "Bethlehem." The dueling repeated syllables are yelled, often becoming a competition to see which divided section of the VBS audience can be the loudest.]
