ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS- Sung & Composed By Baruch Levine, Lyrics By Malka Leah Josephs- Torah Umesorah Single 2019

A Talmid uplifted in Shiur
by his Rebbe so revered
absorbing words of Torah taught with love,
yearning to pass down this treasure
as it stays with him forever
he accepts the torch of Torah from above.

Now teaching a class of his own
of Talmidim who’ll one day be grown
they receive the Gadol’s Torah taught with love,
Rebbe knows that each precious child
with their satisfied sweet smiles
will in time transmit the torch to the next Dor.

CHORUS:
On the shoulders of giants we strive
to impart that which keeps us alive
teaching generations as they come,
and we ask, Asei Lemaan
Tinkos Shel Beis Raban
that our Torah and our Mesorah will be strong,
Oh, we cry, Asei Lemaan
Tinkos Shel Beis Raban
that our Torah Umesorah carry on.

Our children will flourish with time
become the next leaders who shine
teaching words of Torah filled with love,
with echoes all over the world
let’s ensure their voice is heard
that a child’s Chinuch, nothing comes above.

CHORUS:
On the shoulders of giants we strive
to impart that which keeps us alive
teaching generations as they come,
and we ask, Asei Lemaan
Tinkos Shel Beis Raban
that our Torah and our Mesorah will be strong,
Oh, we cry, Asei Lemaan
Tinkos Shel Beis Raban
that our Torah Umesorah carry on.

יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלִּפְנֵי אָבִינוּ, אָבִינוּ שֶׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם
,לְקַיֵּם בָּנוּ חַכְמֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל
Let it be your will to preserve their lives
as they carry the weight of our world
to hold us on their shoulders so we can fly.

CHORUS:
On the shoulders of giants we strive
to impart that which keeps us alive
teaching generations as they come,
and we ask, Asei Lemaan
Tinkos Shel Beis Raban
that our Torah and our Mesorah will be strong, so strong
Oh, we cry, Asei Lemaan
Tinkos Shel Beis Raban
that our Torah Umesorah carry on,
that our Torah Umesorah carry on.
