THE GIFT© February 16, 2008 Michael Druck

G-d gave the Jews
the greatest of things.
And the Jew gives it all that he can.
G-d gives the Jews
the greatest of things.
And it is we, who understand.

The power and importance of Torah.

G-d gives the Jew
the power to bring,
His presence down to the earth.
G-d gives it all,
and what we need to recall,
is that, which was given at birth.

That power and importance of Torah.

G-d gives you
and G-d gives me too,
the power to grasp
and to reach
the meaning of His words,
written and heard,
to learn, discern,
and to teach.

In the power and importance of Torah.

Never mind what others may say,
or what they think,
or believe.
We are the Chosen,
and are ever beholden,
to the Holiness
we need to achieve.

In that power and importance of Torah.

Be that our sign,
in our hearts and our minds,
of what we show to the nations,
a Land and a People,
ever so strong,
with soul and determination.
Immersed in that power,
every minute and hour,

In the importance of G-d and of Torah.

G-d gave the Jews
the greatest of things,
and we live it all by example.

And the flag we should wave,
should be embossed with the gift G-d gave,
in the manner, and banner of Torah.
