Just One Shabbos(T.T.T.O. of Yankee Doodle) Just one Shabbos Just one Torah Just one Hashem, Who can’t be seen Commandments, He commanded us Six hundred and thirteen. How many Fathers, one, two, three. How many Mothers, four. How many children, you and me And many millions more. Those Were the DaysOnce upon a time in ancient Egypt Moses asked that all the Jews go free, But Pharaoh and his army were so stubborn They ended up beneath the churning sea. Chorus: Those were the days, my son, When we were number one We had no fear, for Torah led the way. My friends do not despair Moshiach’s almost here And we’ll be number one again some day.
Hashem Melech Hashem MolochHashem Yimloch Leolam Voed. The Philistines were arrogant and mighty And they would not leave the Jews alone, Sampson would not tolerate such chutzpa He crushed them in a hail of falling stone. Chorus: Haman was a big shot down in Persia He had the perfect plan but he forgot That Mordechai and Esther had connections, They hung him, and he hung there with his plot. Chorus: Now my friends the torch of hope is burning Hold it high and never let it drop, And when we’re number one again remember It’s Torah that has brought us to the top. Chorus: We’ve Existed So LongWe’ve existed so long For the Torah kept us strong And the Torah will never disappear—oh, no!
By the children, who were taught To follow it, and constantly declare:
And I’ll sing it out loud ‘Cause forever, that’s what I’ll be.
And it’s without a doubt That Hashem is always watching over me.”
I know one! One is Hashem, one is Hashem, one is Hashem In the heavens and the earth. Who knows two?… Two are the luchos that Moshe brought, And one is Hashem…
Four are the mothers… Five are the books of the Torah… Six are the books of the Mishna… Seven are the days of the week… Eight are the days before a bris… Nine are the months before a baby’s born… Ten are the Aseres Hadibros… Eleven are the stars in Yosef’s dream… Twelve are the tribes of Yisroel… Thirteen are the Midos of Hashem… Fourteen are the books of the Rambam… In a Dark Cell of StoneIn a dark cell of stone Two souls are yearning, The young Russian boy sits alone The soldiers surrounding Yeshiva is burning.
Their Rebbe’s teachings in mind, A closeness that binds The two little children as one Wrapped in kedusha they learn through the night, The flickering candles burn bright. Chorus: Ma’hevel Pihem Shel Tinokos Shel Bais RabbanOn this alone our world exists, Through the ages as sufferings unfold Our children have stood strong and bold.
Sitting by the Table(T.T.T.O. The Search—J.E.P. II) Sitting by the table, under the trees Bothered by spiders, mosquitoes and bees The learning teacher standing there, trying to teach Searching for a way, his children to reach.
But you find it so difficult to put up the fight, So many distractions are constantly there So hard to overcome, it’s really not fair. But the things that come difficult, are so much more dear And to help you out in this fight, is why we are here Working together, hand in hand True soldiers, awaiting the Rebbe’s command. If only I knew, how to come across to you How much we would accomplish, how much we could do I spend so much time with you on my mind Your path to hatzlochoh, I’m trying to find. If you’d only realize, we’re not working on opposite ends Your counselors and your learning teachers are your best friends Our summers we’re devoting, to help you excel I only beg of you, to help us as well. Together, we both can reach the greatest heights Together, we can’t be stopped by the most difficult fights And we can be sure, that in a very short while Together, we will succeed to make the Rebbe smile. The SearchI search and I wander lost and alone My friends but a shadow, and no place my home The sun shines so strongly, but I cannot see The road is too steep, with no passage for me. I’m mearly a child, but inside I’ve grown old The world cannot touch me, for each touch is cold The warmth that I search for is nowhere is sight I see only sorrow I see only night. A voice came to meet me, extending it’s heart A voice pleading softly, do not stand apart A voice giving warmth I’d not known before A voice casting light as it opened the door. I followed that voice and soon I could see A room filled with children all welcoming me The beauty of Torah was drawing me near A light in the darkness so pure and so clear. I followed that voice and soon I could see A room filled with children so different than me The study of Torah, we hope and we pray Will shatter the darkness turn night into day. A Pattern With Meaning and GoalA pattern with meaning and goal Torah elevates our soul Torah is our way of life And delivers from trouble and strife. Remember the cries and tears The martyrs of our Golus years But Torah gave us our might Helping us fight and unite. And now, the world does plea Yisroel, please conquer me Bring the Geulah Shleimah By increasing your Limud HaTorah. Download 0.87 Mb. Share with your friends:
