Good-bye AmericaGood-bye America Good-bye pollution Torah and Mitzvos Is the only solution. Good-bye America Good-bye inflation Moshich is coming To save the Jewish nation. Har Sinai Was All Aflame(T.T.T.O. Hoshi’ah Es Amecha) Har Sinai was all aflame When Hashem’s glory to it came, As angels of heaven grieved The Torah we received Through it, elevated we became. Chorus: For when we were crowned To Malchus Hashem, we were bound.
Your splendor is everywhere found. Our only worldly gain Is the spreading of His Holy Name We receive our daily needs Through Mitzvosand good deeds And subjecting ourselves to His reign.
Noah was a carpenter Who stumbled in the dark Came across a hammer And built himself an ark Along came the animals Two by two And now you know the story Of the Gan Yisroel zoo. Isaac was the son of Abraham’s hundredth year At the akeidah He didn’t shed a tear. He would have sacrificed him Though his heart was full of strife But then he didn’t do it ‘Cause he had a Milchig knife. Eisav was a hunter In the wild woolly West He roamed around the ranch house And combed his hairy chest For his birthright He didn’t really care So he sold it to Yaakov For a nickel, and a beer. Moshe took the Jews From Pharaoh’s wicked land He led them to The Promised Land When he struck the rock There rose a mighty cheer Instead of water, flowed Schlitz malt liquor beer. Yonah was a mariner So goes the ancient tale He took a Trans-Atlantic trip In the belly of a whale Yonah felt claustrophobic And very much depressed So, he pushed the belly button And the whale did the rest. Daniel was a prisoner Brought before the king They played twenty questions But couldn’t learn a thing They threw him in a lions’ den To perform a great feat So, Daniel became a dentist And pulled the lions’ teeth. Samson was a mighty man From the New York Dodgers school He killed ten thousand Yankees With the jawbone of a mule He had a brother Who was strong, as well Samson went to heaven And his brother went to....Gan Yisroel In the Post Talmudic Age(T.T.T.O. V’chol Ma’aminim) In the Post Talmudic Age Lived a scholar and a sage Rabeinu Moshe Ben Maimon was his name. Wise in so many things Physician to kings Philosopher the Rambam of great fame. Chorus:
Mi’Moshe Ad Moshe Lo Kom K’MosheA teacher and a leader strong. Mi’Moshe Ad Moshe Lo Kom K’MosheTo teach our nation right from wrong. As a great authority And with care and clarity The Rambam wrote the Yad Hachazakah.
Of what Jewish law consists Helping Yidden to keep Hashem’s Torah.
Has suggested a good way For Jews around the world to be as one.
Throughout the globe corners four And help Moshiach speedily to come.
You can clearly see and hear People learning Rambam every single day.
From the Yad Hachazakah Bringing unity in yet another way.
It flew into a synagogue and no one else was there It landed on the Bimah and it tried to go to sleep, But from the Aron Kodesh a voice began to speak. “Who is in my synagogue?” the dollar bill said “I. I’ve come here from America, there’s nothing I can’t buy That’s why people worship me now tell me who are you?” “My name is the Torah and all I say is true.” “Tell me, tell me Torah, why do you seem so sad? You live in this nice synagogue, I think you should be glad.” “I’ve always lived with Israel,” the Torah did reply “And my people do not listen, and I just wonder why.” The dollar bill was laughing as it flew into the air It flew into the street and some people gathered there, Everyone was jumping up to get it in their hand Everyone was jumping up in the Promised Land. And somewhere in the synagogue very late at night There burned an olive oil lamp, it’s the eternal light, And from the Aron Kodesh a cry is heard once more And if you look real close you can see the tear drops on the floor. Little MoishieLittle Moishie went to cheder every day And with the other children he learned to say, Alef, beis, gimmel, daled, hay And the rabbi would smile at him in a special way.
The study of the Torah was forbidden by the law. In the ominous dark shadow of the KGB They learned the alef-beis secretly. “Alef, beis, gimmel, daled, hay” Moishe and the children would all say. Together they’d repeat Alef, beis, gimmel, daled, hay
Terrified young eyes focused on the door. The crusty hardened face of the soldier that appeared Filled the cheder room with great fear. He singled out Moishe - “What have you learned?” To the scared young child all faces turned With the bayonet so close, he had no choice but to say, “Alef, beis, gimmel, daled, hay.” Somewhere in that soldier’s memory Himself as a young child he did see As the image passes before his mind tears came to his eyes, All the cheder children heard him say with a sigh. “Alef, beis, gimmel, daled, hay There was a time when those letters I would say,” He fought back his emotion And to the soldier down the hall He called, “Let’s move on there’s nothing here at all. Let’s move on there’s nothing here at all.” Download 0.87 Mb. Share with your friends:
