Lo Mais

Leaving behind a legacy
so holy and true;
His teachings spread forth
for all eternity.
The nation of Yisroel
was charged with a mission:
To live the life of a yid;
and do as the Avos did.
* * *
Chorus:
Yaakov Avinu lo mais -
When we follow in his ways
we keep alive his name.
We are his children - his life, his soul
We keep him alive when we do as he told.
* * *
The Torah is our heritage
passed from father to son.
Our ancestors -our loved ones- are remembered
each time we accomplish a mitzvah with love.
Let us promise to always
keep the legacy going.
No matter what the future
may possibly bring.

Teshuvah - Always Possible


Charged with a mission
the child is brought to life.
Wrapped in the warmth of Kedusha
he does grow.
His family instills within him
the beauty of the Torah.
What a person he has become.
* * *
Pressured by his friends
the child changes ways.
Wrapped in the coldness of Klipah
he does grow.
His family tries to show him
the beauty of the Torah.
What a person he has become.
* * *
His soul reignited
the child returns.
Wrapped in the love of learning
he does grow.
His family instilling in him
the beauy of the Torah.
What a person he will become.
