TO LIVE A LIFE OF TORAH- Miami Boys Choir- Composed by Yerachmiel Begun, Lyrics by Chaya Sara Fogel- Miami Experience 2
(Also Recorded by Nochum Stark- Tefilosi)
Since the beginning of our nation,
in every single generation,
our people slandered and accused
and tortured just because they’re Jews.
Yet through the brutal pain and grief,
steadfast they cling to their belief.
They held their heads a little higher,
as they perished in the fire,
they cried out “Shema Yisroel”.
CHORUS:
To live a life of Torah,
to stand up righteous and strong,
to voice unquestioning faith in everlasting song.
To say Shema Yisroel, to serve Hashem without fear,
to dream about the day, when all the world will hear.
And when dejected by our sorrow,
we must look to a new tomorrow,
and when the darkness turns to dawn,
another generation’s born.
The message is that Hashem is one,
it’s passed from fathers to their sons,
the children sing, their voices soar,
emerging stronger than before,
they cry out “Shema Yisroel”.
CHORUS:
To live a life of Torah,
to stand up righteous and strong,
to voice unquestioning faith in everlasting song.
To say shema yisroel, to serve Hashem without fear,
to dream about the day, when all the world will hear.
To live a life of Torah,
to stand up righteous and strong,
to voice unquestioning faith in everlasting song.
To say shema yisroel,
to live those words every day
