LULEI SORASCHA- Journeys- Composed by Abie Rotenberg- Journeys 3

VERSE 1:
He sits late at night
in the soft candlelight
As it cast its warm glow on the pages,
And the words that he sees
are the secret, the key
That has kept us alive through the ages.

Why does he cherish the wisdom of old
And delight in its study each day,
He knows only Torah can nourish his soul
Come listen and hear what he says.

CHORUS 1:
Vos Zogt Beis Hillel
Vos Meint Beis Shammai
Rava, Farvos
Haltz Du Nit Vi Abaye,
Torah, without you
I surely would die
Lulei Sorascha Sha’ashuay.
Vos Klert Ravina
Vos Tracht Rav Ashi
P’shat Ken Min Treffen
In Heilige Rashi,
Torah, you’ve given my spirit to me
Ki Vom, Ki Vom, Chiyisoni.

VERSE 2:
As a nation in flight
we endured the world’s spite
And the sight of our precious books burning.
We ignored our grief
to the world’s disbelief
And never, no never stopped learning.

Why does he cherish the wisdom of old
And delight in its study each day,
He knows only Torah can nourish his soul
Come listen and hear what he says.

CHORUS 2:
Maskif Rav Chisda
Aisivay Rav Poppo
Zay Vu Der Rambam
Firt Ois P’sak Halacha,
Torah, without you
I surely would die
Lulei Sorascha Sha’ashuay.
A Rishion’s A Kasha
An Acharoin’s A Svoreh
Chochmas Haboirei
Vos Ligt In Gemara,
Torah, you’ve given my spirit to me
Ki Vom, Ki Vom, Chiyisoni.

VERSE 3:
And now we remain
with our faith yet sustained
By our passion and love for this treasure.
It’s our link with Sinai
and our father on high
So we’ll keep on learning forever, forever, forever, forever…

CHORUS 3:
Lulei Sorascha Sha’ashuay
Lulei Sorascha Sha’ashuay,
Oz Ovadeti V’onyi
Oz Ovadeti V’onyi.
L’olam Lo Eshkach Pikudecho
L’olam Lo Eshkach Pikudecho,
Ki Vom, Ki Vom Chiyisoni
Ki Vom, Ki Vom Chiyisoni.
