TerumahHahem said, "build a mishkan for me So that among the Jews I’ll be" Gifts for the mishkan, they did bring There was a plan for everything They brought gold and silver, too Wool of purple and of blue A Menorah made of gold so pure There were curtains for the door The aron was covered in and out with gold The luchos to hold The shulchan was made of special wood In the mishkan they stood MishpatimAll the laws, the mishpatim That Moshe Rabbeinu brought To us from Har Sinai To Am Yisroel he taught Chorus: Na’a’seh v’nishma, was our cry Without asking why Without asking why
Being fair in work or play These laws taught by Moshe Are with us today Midvar sheker tirchak Never tell a lie To keep away from sheker We must always try Chorus: Na’aseh V’nishma, was our cry We will do and we will hear Without asking why TizavehV’atoh tetzaveh The Jews were told by Moshe To bring shemen for pure light For the Menorah to burn bright Chorus: Aharon was chosen to be The Kohen Gadol from shevet Levi He wore many special things And a choshen with gold rings
It had the names of the twelve sh’vatim All the clothes had to fit just right He served Hashem with all his might Chorus: Ki SsisahThe Jews were waiting they counted the days wrong It seemed as if Moshe was away so long "Where is Moshe? We all want to know" B’nei Yisroel cried to Aharon so Aharon told the Jews, he wanted them to wait He knew that Moshe was not late, He asked them all to bring jewelry of gold They quickly did all that they were told Aharon threw all the gold and jewelry into the flame Then an egel it became Moshe was angry at the Jews when he came down He threw the luchos onto the ground Moshe begged Hashem, Bnei Yisroel to forgive Those that did t’shuva, should live It’s Time To Learn Torah TodayIt’s time to learn Torah once more Remember when we met before In the park and on the street Now in school we will meet In Voyikrah each sedrah has a song Join us now, sing along Make each Mitzvah come alive To be a Torah Jew we strive Vayakeh - PekudeiB’nei Yisroel gathered and they heard Moshe told them Hashem’s word In six days all work you must do Shabbos is special for every Jew Even work for the mishkan On Shabbos kodesh must not be done This job was done by Betzalel Gifts were brought by B’nei Yisroel They brought more than was needed For the mishkan to be completed It’s purpose was fulfilled Now it was as Hashem willed When on the mishkan the cloud appeared The people knew Hashem was near When the cloud lifted they could see They should continue on their journey VayikraIn the time of the mishkan And the Bais Homikdosh, Too many korbonos were brought To Hashem by all the Jews Chorus: The Bais Hamikdosh is no more We have no korbonos as before Now we daven, now we pray With our siddur every day
Were for the Jews to become close To Hashem, so we understand A korbon was for the benefit of man Chorus: A korbon was a sacrifice Love for Hashem it expressed The korbon was for t’shuuah To ask Hashem’s forgiveness The Bais Hamikdosh is no more We have no korbonos as before Now we daven, now we pray With our siddur, every day KorbanosThere were many kinds of Korbonos Each animal - Tomim, complete The Shlomim, the peace offering Had parts for the Kohein to eat If there was a time that a person did Something that was wrong A Korbon either Chatos, or Ashom He brought before very long The people knew the Olah was A completely burned Korbon Offered with free will To Hashem by anyone The Korbon Mincho was flour and oil Given mainly by poor And to show his thanks to Hashem A Jew brought a Korbon Todah TzavIn parshas Tzav, Moshe learned That an aish tomid must always burn The fire on the mizbaiyach was to be Kept burning continuously In each of us there is a spark of fire To make the flame of Torah, burn higher and higher Just as aharon the fire did light Our Torah inspires us to do what is right With a special oil, aharon was anointed To be a kohain gadol, he was appointed Aharon always understood The importance of Shalom, that peace is good The Olah and the chatos were brought In the very same place, so Moshe taught From this we all learn to be aware Never to embarrass, for others you must care SheminiWhen we say that food is kosher Do you know what we mean? We may eat only certain animals That are tahor, which means clean B’nei Yisroel all gathered to learn In the parsho of shemini That we must eat only Kosher food So to Hashem, holy we can be All of the animals which we may eat Must have split hooves on their feet And they must chew their food over again We know the animal is Kosher, then Moshe taught us in great detail That Kosher fish must have fins and scales Most of the bugs or creatures that crawl We may never eat at all!
