IN ERETZ YISROEL- Nochum Stark- In Eretz Yisroel

Distractions all around
From far and near
They pull your Neshoma down
Without a care
I need the isolation
Bring strong the concentration
And rise up to a level all anew.

Like Galus through the ages
its need was strong
our Gedolim and our sages
would travel long
although the journey’s shorter
for me to reach her border
it’s the challenge of my life I’m going through.

My heart
Is open for the world to know
The dream
The fire in my soul to go
The song I’m singing
Is my spirit ringing
To learn Torah in Eretz Yisroel.

And now,
I join my friends
Can’t wait to start
I hope to make a change within my heart
For the sound of learning
Yes, my soul is burning
For the Torah of Eretz Yisroel.

As I stood by the Kosel crying
In awe and fear
There now was no denying
My place was there
We know that Klal Yisroel
Is strengthened in their Ohel
.אֲוִירָא דְּאֶרֶץ־יִשְׂרָאֵל מַחְכִּים עַמָה

Three years have come and gone here
Again I rome
But one day I’ll return there
To my true home
The spirit and Kedusha
Of our proud Yerusha
Will stay with me Ad Moshiach Bimheira.

My heart
Is open ‘cause I’m back once more
I have found that spark that I was hoping for
Our bond that ties us
It’s a force that drives us
This Holy Land of Eretz Yisroel.

Our dreams
Are realized in these stones and sand
It’s here
We’re close and sense his mighty hand
As men before us
Feel the air restore us
Let’s rejoice in our Eretz Yisroel.

My heart
Is open for the world to know
The dream
The fire in my soul to go
The song I’m singing
Is my spirit ringing
To learn Torah in Eretz Yisroel.

For the sound of learning
Yes, my soul is burning
For the Torah of Eretz Yisroel.
For the Torah of Eretz Yisroel.
For the Torah of Eretz Yisroel.
