WHAT HOLIDAY IS THIS- Country Yossi- Welcome Back Kivi & Tuki

A brand new year is starting,
We hear the Shofar’s call.
We promise to do Teshuvah,
Sincerely one and all.
And then we go to Tashlich
With all the little kids.
Can anybody tell me,
What holiday this is?

I know this one, Country Yossi. It’s Rosh Hashanah!
That’s right, Kivi. Let’s try another one!

Today, we are forgiven,
Today, we start anew.
The Chazan sings Kol Nidrei
And we spend the day in Shul.
No eating and no drinking
Except for little kids.
Can anybody tell me,
What holiday this is?

I got it, Country Yossi! What is it, Tuki?
It’s Purim!!!
Close, Tuki. Yom Kippurim!

I take a pretty Esrog,
And Lulav in my hand.
We hang up decorations
And go to Astroland.
We eat inside the hmmm-hmmm
With all our happy kids.
Can anybody tell me,
What holiday this is?

Oh, that’s easy. It’s Sukkos!
That’s right, Yitzi!

Chag Sameach, everyone
Every girl and boy
‘זה היום עשה ה
.נגילה ונשמחה בו
Ah gut Yom Tov, everyone
Celebrate with joy
‘זה היום עשה ה
.נגילה ונשמחה בו

Nice singing, Kinderlach! Let’s try another one.
Ok? Here we go!

This day we’re very happy,
Our spirits never sag.
We make seven Hakafos
With the Torahs and a flag.
We all get an Aliyah,
Even little kids.
Can anybody tell me,
What holiday this is?

I know this one, Country Yossi. It’s Simchas Torah!
Right again, Kivi! Let’s try another.

I take my little Dreidel,
I give it such a spin.
No matter how I turn it,
I always get a Shin.
I light up my Menorah
And buy presents for the kids.
Can anybody tell me,
What holiday this is?

I know, Country Yossi. Tzom Gedaliah!
Tzom Gedaliah? No, it’s Chanukah, Tuki. Chanukah!

This also is a new year,
But not for you and me.
Hashem, He sits in judgement
On every single tree.
We make Shehechiyanu
On fruits with all the kids.
Can anybody tell me,
What holiday this is?

I know, Tu Bishvat!
Right, Sruli, Gevaldig!

Chag Sameach, everyone
Every girl and boy
‘זה היום עשה ה
.נגילה ונשמחה בו
Ah gut Yom Tov, everyone
Celebrate with joy
‘זה היום עשה ה
.נגילה ונשמחה בו

Ok, here comes an easy one, Kinderlach!
Get ready!

We put on funny costumes,
All the girls and boys.
When Haman’s name is mentioned,
We make a lot of noise.
We send out Shalach Manos,
Delivered by the kids.
Can anybody tell me,
What holiday this is?

Even I know, Country Yossi. It’s Purim!
Great, Kaili. I’m so proud of you!

We search the house for Chometz
With a candle and a spoon.
No more bread or cookies,
Just eat a macaroon.
Who stole my Afikomen?
It’s probably those kids!
Can anybody tell me,
What holiday this is?

That’s easy. Pesach!
Yes, Shalom Ber! Great. Now here comes a real toughie.

We stay up all night learning
Because this is the day
Hashem gave us the Torah
To show us all the way.
Hashem made us all promise
To teach it to our kids.
Can anybody tell me,
What holiday this is?

It’s Shavuos.
Wonderful, Kivi!

Chag Sameach, everyone
Every girl and boy
‘זה היום עשה ה
.נגילה ונשמחה בו
Ah gut Yom Tov, everyone
Celebrate with joy
‘זה היום עשה ה
.נגילה ונשמחה בו

Now for my personal favorite.
Listen well, everybody!

Now, this one comes quite often,
This one I love the best.
No school, no work; some Cholent,
It’s a holy day of rest.
A day for learning Torah
With all our little kids.
Can anybody tell me,
What holiday this is?

It’s Shabbos!!!
Of course, Kinderlach!
Now, everybody, take your shoes off.
Here comes the last one.

This is the saddest one of all,
The Shechinah went away.
Our holy Beis Hamkidash
Was destroyed upon this day.
We fast and sit upon the ground,
With broken hearts, we pray.
That very soon it will become…
It’s Tisha B’av!
A joyous holiday!

Chag Sameach, everyone
Every girl and boy
‘זה היום עשה ה
.נגילה ונשמחה בו
Ah gut Yom Tov, everyone
Celebrate with joy
‘זה היום עשה ה
.נגילה ונשמחה בו

.נגילה ונשמחה בו
,נגילה,
.ונשמחה בו
Good Yuntif!!!
