In the Time of the Days of OldIn the time of the days of old Through the years that remain untold The spirit of Torah was burning bright Giving them the strength to fight. But, as many years went by The fire began to flicker and die The Golus water extinguished the flame With Klal Yisroel to blame. So the Rebbe, hearing the call Knowing that the Yidden would fall For without learning Torah night and day Survival is no other way. Out went the Mitzvah Tanks As far as the Western Bank Torah tzivo louo MosheEveryone learn this baal peh. So the P’sukim everyone should learn The walls of Golus to burn To bring Moshiach to every Jew Bimheirah beyomeinu. What is in Torah That Sets it ApartWhat is in Torah that sets it apart So precious and holy, and dear to our heart. The innermost wisdom and will of Hashem Were hidden in Torah and given to men. Learning it kindles a desire so strong To follow its precepts, and never do wrong. To cling to it always, and live by its light The ideals and principles, shining so bright. Therefore we love it, and long for it so We carry it and study it wherever we go. Our Ahavas HaTorah, a burning fire Ready to sacrifice our lives, our desire. A Voice in the ForestI hear in the forest a cry and a shout A father seeks his children who have wandered about. Children, children where can you be That you no longer remember me. Children, children return to your home For it’s hard for me to be here all alone. Father, father how can we return once more The guards are all surrounding the door. Children, children Torah you should learn Then Biyas HaMoshiach you will surely earn. Glory of Our Nation Symbol of All PrideGlory of our nation symbol of all pride Osios Hatorah forever our guide What is your message to Yidden worldwide Tell us your secrets hidden deep inside.
Each one of you is an Ois Hatorah too Listen to our song, and remember as you do Every single letter has a lesson just for you. A little scratch or any tiny crack Should be fixed at once and changed right back The Torah must be read from, properly With every letter perfect as can be. Each of us must really do our best Everything we do has its effect I’m trying hard to be all I can be Klal Yisroel truly counts on me. The sofer sits and works so carefully Writing every letter separately Every ois must have its proper place In between each one a holy space. We each have a task that’s our’s alone A mission to accomplish on our own Let’s do what’s right and still at the same time Let us give our neighbor space to shine. Look us over you are sure to find In every word at least two are combined A word can never be a single ois Why is it that way do you suppose? Alone each one of us just cannot stand We need to reach out with a helping hand Together our success is sure to be When we all combine our energy. At times a single ois is all it takes To give a word a fully different face When you add an aleph to gola Suddenly it turns to Geulah. You never know just how a single deed Might just be the only thing we need The Rebbe said it’s up to you and me To bring down the aleph finally! Chorus: Chossidim we’re one family Our power is our unity, Together ad mosai we scream We share one goal, one dream.
You can hear our different voices blend together, Oh, how we need to see you Smiling triumphantly Leading us all to the Mikdash Hashlishi.
What kind of kids learn Hashem’s Torah Fat kids, skinny kids, kids that climb on rocks Tall kids, short kids, even kids with chicken pox Learn Torah, Hashem’s Torah The stuff kids love to learn. Shtotakoi Sefer TorahIn a little town in Russia A Jew was passing through He saw a little child And asked are you a Jew. The little child answered Yes it’s really so My Bobbe always tells me But more I do not know The Jew then nodded And in a gentle tone Asked do you want a letter All your very own. In a Sefer Torah Written all by hand In old Yerusholayim In the Holy Land. There is a holy Tzaddik Who prays for you and me And wants all Jewish Children One in unity. Buying flaming letters In the holy scroll Linking them together Into one great soul. The child said here’s a ruble A letter I must buy A tear fell from his eye And he began to cry. My Bobbe when she davens Always says to me Remember you’re a Jew Wherever you may be. And she says in heaven Our suffering G-d does see And one day He’ll save us And make us proud and free. The stranger also cried And took the small child’s hand And said I see in your heart You really understand. The Ba’al Shem Tov always taught us That He who is above Will one day come and free us And show us His great love. The stranger continued I am sorry we must part But the spark of Emunah Keep flaming in your heart. That is all I can tell you All I have to say And then the stranger left Going on his way. The child ran to his Bobbe And held her gentle hand Shtotakoi Sefer Torah I really must understand. She shook her head sadly And said with a sigh The time has truly come And tell you I must try. The hours passed quickly They came to the shul And beheld a wondrous sight. A Sefer Torah in the Aron Kodesh Containing Hashem’s word Their hearts pounded quickly But a sound could not be heard. Onochi and Taryag Mitzvos They sensed with their heart G-d’s Torah link with Jews That would never part. Come said the Bobbe It is dangerous to stay But from this day forward We will know what to pray. We will cry with all our heart And pound at heaven’s door And ask with all our might That Golus be no more. Yes Bobbe, said the child I think I understand To be free from Golus And return to our Holy Land. And learn letters of the Sefer Torah Every day and night And do Hashem’s Mitzvos With all our soul and might. The Rebbe Shlita has told us Our goal and task Shtotakoi Sefer Torah Every Jew must ask. To this we’ll exert our effort And time not waste This will end our Golus And bring Moshiach in great haste. Download 0.87 Mb. Share with your friends:
