May the Lord protect you
May the Lord defend you
May he look at you and shower you with praise
May the Lord guide you to wisdom and to peace
And may he always show you how to be brave
Ken Yehi Ratzon (Let it be so)
May the Lord teach you and show you to believe
That we are all so different yet the same
There's so much in this world that we all can achieve
And may you just be you and never change
Ken Yehi Ratzon (Let it be so)
יברכך יהוה וישמרך
יאר יהוה פניו אליך ויחונך
ישא יהוה פניו אליך וישם לך שלום
"Yevarechecha Adonai veyishmerecha" ("May God bless you and keep you").
"Ya'er Adonai panav eilecha viy'chunecha" ("May God show you favor and be gracious to you")
"Yisa Adonai panav eilecha veyasem lecha shalom" ("May God show you kindness and grant you peace").
Ken Yehi Ratzon (Let it be so)

Wherever I go, wherever I roam
I always know, I have a home
In Israel, in Israel
And if I'm lost, I hope and pray
I know my heart, Will show the way
To Israel, To Israel

I pray for peace, I pray for love
I pray that light will shine above
On Israel, On Israel
O I ask you, my redeemer
I ask you, when you see her
Protect her, Love her
As I do, I really do

למדני אלוהי
ברך והתפלל
על סוד עלה קמל
על נוגה פרי בשל
על החירות הזאת
לראות לחוש לנשום
לדעת לייחל להיכשל
למד את שפתותי
ברכה ושיר הלל
בהתחדש זמנך
עם בוקר ועם ליל
לבל יהיה יומי היום כתמול שלשום
לבל יהי עליי
יומי הרגל

בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א
In the beginning
אֱלֹהִ֑ים
of God's creation
אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם והָאָֽרֶץ
of the heavens and the earth
וְהָאָ֗רֶץ הָֽיְתָ֥ה
Now the earth was
תֹ֨הוּ֙ וָבֹ֔הוּ
astonishingly empty
וְח֖שֶׁךְ עַל-פְּנֵ֣י תְה֑וֹם
and darkness was on the face of the deep,
וְר֣וּחַ אֱלֹהִ֔ים
and the spirit of God
מְרַחֶ֖פֶת
was hovering
עַל-פְּנֵ֥י הַמָּֽיִם:
over the face of the water
וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֖ים יְהִ֣י א֑וֹר
And God said, "Let there be light,"
וַיַּ֥רְא אֱלֹהִ֖ים כִּי-טֽוֹב
And God saw that it was good
וְיִקְרָא לרְקִיעַ
And God called the skies
שָׁמַיִם,
Heaven
ליבֵשָׁה אֶרֶץ
the dry land Earth
וְלַמַּיִם יָמִים
and the gathering of the waters, Seas
מדֶּשֶׁא אֶת הַדֶּשֶׁא,
He made the green grass
עֵצִים מְלַבְלְבִים,
and flourishing trees
וּבָרָא אֶת הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ
And created the Sun
וְאֶת הַיָּרֵחַ
And the moon
וְאֶת כָּל הַדָּגִים
And the fish
וְהַתַּנִּינִים,
And the large sea creatures
וְאֶת הָעוֹפוֹת וְהַנְּחָשִׁים
The birds and the snakes
וְיִבְרָא אֱלֹהִים אִישׁ וְאִשָּׁה,
And God created man and woman
וִירֵא כִּי טוֹב מְאֹד

The Earth
וְכָל-צְבָאָֽם:
And all their host
וַיְכַ֤ל אֱלֹהִים֙

בַּיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֔י
On the seventh day
מְלַאכְתּ֖וֹ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֑ה
All the work which he had made
וַיִּשְׁבֹּת֙
And he rested
בַּיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֔י

From all the work
אֲשֶׁר-בָּרָ֥א אֱלֹהִ֖ים לַֽעֲשֽׂוֹת:
That he himself created to do.
וירֵא כִּי טוֹב,
וירֵא כִּי טוֹב,
הוּא רָאָה כִּי טוֹב מְאֹד

We will build this world together
We can face it if we’re strong
So I’ll depend on you,
And you’ll depend on me
Chazak, Chazak Venitchazek
When we need to start all over
And begin from Bereshit
Help me find ways
to rediscover you
Chazak, Chazak Venitchazek
Every mountain has a valley
Every storm has an end
Every end has a beginning
We got this, we won’t bend
So say it loud, say it proud
Chazak, Chazak Venitchazek!
Chazak, Chazak Venitchazek!
You know you give me inspiration
Every time we turn around
So I’ll depend on you,
And you’ll depend on me
Chazak, Chazak Venitchazek
So we gotta dig deeper
Hidden treasures can be found
Help me find ways
to rediscover you
Chazak, Chazak Venitchazek
Every mountain has a valley…

Boker Tov X2 בוקר טוב
Boker Hadash Ole Alay x3
בוקר חדש עולה עלי
Ve'im Ein Ani Li Mi Li
ואם אין אני לי מי לי
Sometimes when I wake up I get sad
I think about the things I did that were bad
And I just want to stay inside all day
Wishin' that my friends would go away
But it's a new morning
Boker Hadash....
You know it's not easy to be me
And no I'm not as perfect as you want me to be
But then when I wake up I think about you
And thinking maybe I'm to blame too
On this new morning
Boker Hadash...
You can't stop the spinning of my wheel
And I need to beleive in what I feel
'cause if I didn't get it at first glance
Today I'm gonna get another chance
On this new morning...
Boker Hadash....

ראה נתתי לפניך היום
את החיים ואת הטוב, את המוות ואת הרע
ובחרת בחיים
לא בשמיים היא ולא מעבר לים
כי אם אתך מאז ועד עולם
כי קרוב אליך הדבר מאוד
Re'e natati lefanecha hayom
Et Hachayim ve'et hatov
Et Hamavet Ve'et Hara
Uvacharta Bachayim
Lo Bashamayim Hi ve'lo me'ever layam
Ki im itcha me'az ve'ad olam
Ki karov elecha Hadavar Me'od
See, I have set before thee this day
life and good, and death and evil,
therefore choose life
It is not in the sky or across the sea,
But it is with you for eternity
And it is very close to you

Rise Above It
03:14
|
|||
When I’m down
When I’m blue
When they claim,
that's not true
I’ll recall
That I’m strong
I can tell
right from wrong
You got to rise above it
You got to let yourself shine
Oh no you won’t let nothin’ stop you
You know that soon you will be fine
You got to push through it all
You gotta keep standin’ tall
You can rise above it all the time
When I’m tired,
And I don’t belong
When I’m right,
And you’re wrong
I’ll find strength,
Patience pays
Oh God works
In mysterious ways
You got to rise above it…
So rise up
Dry your tears
Though it may not seem like much
We all share the same fears
You got to rise above it...

Oh lord my god please teach me how to bless and pray
The truth of falling leaves And fruits of summers day
The freedom that it brings - to see to feel to breath
To know, to yearn, and even fail
Teach my lips a song that tells us how to praise
The morning and the nights the secrets of your ways
Guide my mind to find the truth, see through the haze
'cause I don't want no ordinary days
Teach me how to see, teach me how to pray
The truth of falling leaves And fruits of summers day
Teach my lips a song that tells me how to praise
No I don't want no ordinary days
