Two weeks to 5772

With just two weeks to go until Rosh Hashana, I'd like to share with you the colorful song which I've been singing in the shower the last few days.

Dip your apple by the Fountainheads (what a great name!) definitely makes me less grouchy!

If you're anything like me, you'll want to sing along, right? Here are the lyrics (after the jump):




Tekia, shevarim, terua x2

A new year rising
A new beginning
Lift your heard up, turn yourself ‘round, the world is spinning

Feel the magic

Of a new day
Open your heart to a fresh start, send your fears away

You’ve made mistakes

You feel it
You’ve got what it takes

Believe it

Any wrong can be made right
Just forgive you need not fight
Shana tova u metuka 

It's Rosh Hashana!

Shana tova, u’metuka
Dip your apple in the honey

It's Rosh Hashana!

So many new hopes
Waiting to find you
Open your eyes, the dreams you prize are all around you

The smiles are hiding
No use in guessing
Make up your mind, go out and find life's simple blessings

This is your time 

You feel it
How sweet it is 

Believe it

Any wrong can be made right
Just forgive you need not fight
Shana tova u metuka

It's Rosh Hashana!

Shana tova u metuka
Dip your apple in the honey 

On Rosh Hashana
Shana tova u metuka
Hear the sounds of jubilation 

It's Rosh Hashana!

Yehi ratzon shenihiyeh le rosh lo zanav
Sweeten life for those around us with joy and love

Avinu malkeinu chaneinu veanaeinu

Hear our prayer Oh Lord this hour
Inscribe us in the book of life

Aneinu

(Anenu)

Shana tova

Shana tova u metuka
Dip your apple in the honey 

On Rosh Hashana
Hear the sounds of jubilation

It's Rosh Hashana!

(She hichiyanu)
Give us life Lord

(Ve kiyemanu)
And sustain us
(Ve higi'anu)
Oh deliver us
To salvation

In this New Year
(On Rosh Hashana)
Make your loved ones smile
(It’s Rosh Hashana)
Open your hearts to one another 

(It's Rosh Hashana)
And begin life anew

(It’s Rosh Hashana)

If that didn't put a smile on your face, you're made of stone. Or you've listened to the news too much these days.
Shanananana ...
