KedoshimChorus: "Kedoshim tihiyu ki kadosh ani" Hashem said, "I am holy, so you must be." To become holy, to Hashem be close Follow the Torah, do the Mitzvos
The dinim of the land and what to reap When a farmer harvested his field And he thanked Hashem for his yield The farmer left over a corner of his land For the benefit of any man The poor could take of all the things that grow Without feeling humble and low Chorus: How can we all be holy each day Whether at home, in school or play? By giving thanks to Hashem, when we awake By a bracha, when food we take When we see an older person, one who is wise To show our respect we rise We try to correct others when they do wrong Because to Hashem we belong Chorus: Tazria-MitzorahSpeaking badly of others is not a kind act For once you hurt someone, you can’t take it back As punishment for lashon hara a terrible deed The sickness of tzoroas, was then decreed If a white spot was found on the body or neck A man had to go to the kohain to check If it was tzoraas beyond any doubt From the camp of Yisroel, he had to go out Seven days completely alone were spent For the things he did wrong, he had to repent If his t’shuuah was honest and real At the end of the week he was totally healed In eight more days if his skin was still clear After bringing korbonos and serious prayer He then returned to his family and friends And was careful not to speak lashon hara, again Acharei MosAfter the two sons of Aharon Nodau and Auihu died Hashem spoke to Moshe Telling him to go inside
Called the kodesh kodoshim Only on yom kippur Aharon did go in Chorus: Vchai bohem ani Hashem These are my Mitzvos, follow them
We ask Hashem to forgive To grant us a good year For all of us to live The lives of our avos teach us An example the provide How to live with the Mitzvos As an eternal guide BechukosaiWith these words Vayikroh does end These are the laws that Hashem does command Laws of Kedusha and all the Dinim Of the Mishkan, Korbonos and Kohanim Chorus: "If all my Mitzvosyou will do All the world’s good I’ll give to you, The fields will bloom, the sun will shine "Me rain will fall, in the proper time."
To do the things we cannot do now? We’re still in Golus we’ve shed many tears We’ve had no Bais Hamikdosh for two thousand years." Chorus: But the answer is really a very simple one We want to be ready when Moshiach will come Ready to bring Korbonos again Remembering the promise, Hashem made to us... then
Or cheer them when they are sad When you dance and sing at a wedding And make a choson and kallah glad If someone you know is suffering Help him all that you can You would not speak lashon hara If you loved your fellow man Chorus: V’ahavto lreiacho L’reiacha kamocha Loving your friend as yourself Is a very great mitzvah
And give them all food and drink When you are kind to all of your friends And of their feelings, you think When you give tzedokah to someone in need By doing all of these wonderful things This Mitzvah, you fulfill Chorus: EmorAm Yisroel was told the reason For each Yom Tov in it’s season Yomim Tovim, our holidays Are times for us to sing Hashem’s praise On the fifteenth of the month of Nissan For Bnei Yisroel freedom had begun On pesach we review the history Of our bitter years of slavery After pesach we are told to count Seven weeks is the full amount Until shavuos, the Torah we received In 613 Mitzvoswe believe Rosh Hashona, the first of Tishrei We Daven and blow Shofar on this day On the tenth of Tishrei, fasting and prayer Yom Kippur, holiest day of the year On the fifteenth, Sukos falls Our wanderings in the desert we recall And so a Sukah we are told to build With Yom Tov joy our hearts are filled Chorus: Hashem’s world, Hashem’s land Shobbos does proclaim Hashem’s world, Hashem’s land Shmitah does the same
For six years the Jews prepared With food they were supplied In Hashern they relied Chorus: The fiftieth year was Yoveil Bringing hope for Yisroel With freedom for everyone Around the YearRosh HashanaThe sound of the shofar is loud and clear ‘Cause rosh hashonoh is coming near Hashem counts our good deeds He counts everyone And rewards us for the Mitzvosthat we have done The averos we did, Hashem counts them too Let’s hope they are tiny and very few So from now on, let’s live the real Torah way And do many Mitzvosevery day
It flew from flower to flower And then little Eli turned on the hose And the bee had quite a shower, Bzzzzzz But Buzzy the bee did not seem to mind She flew as fast as she was able To make the honey that we need For our Rosh Hashanah table Download 0.87 Mb. Share with your friends:
