Tying The Crowns

Chorus:
The unity lasts Menora
throughout generations with the changing forms
A Beit midrash decorum
Two Schools Clash in this storm
Verse 1:
We meet ourselves there earnest
To find our purpose
inclination in G-d’s service
Our souls are entwined
into the divine and inclined towards the mind
Rabbi Akiva found
infinite meaning in each and every crown
The Tagim remind us we have worth
on G-d's glorious earth
Chorus:
The unity lasts Menora
throughout generations with the changing forms
A Beit midrash decorum
Two Schools Clash in this storm
Verse 2:
Every month is a renewal
Sacred and impure permitted and withheld
Like the menorah, some things cannot be made impurer
Everything comes back to oneness-of unity
22 ornaments, 22 crowns, all come from G-d's infinity
learning going through the generations
adding layers of interpretation, innovation
Chorus:
The unity lasts Menora
throughout generations with the changing forms
A Beit midrash decorum
Two Schools Clash in this storm

Bar Kamtzah
03:05

A wise Lance once said It's not the emergence of rabbis
It's pull back the curtains and ask why
Chorus:
Don't be afraid to be humble
ask for forgiveness
or greater troubles
We will bear witness X2
Verse 1:
Halacha is not a weapon
It's used for protection
We need introspection
from all of our bretheren
It is the fabric of social cohesion
From this magic, make crucial decisions
I got a story on how to be brave
It's the snake at the mouth of the cave
Puts the hissed in history or shroud from a cape
We tell these tales so the crowds can relate
In Gittin we see foes made as they grow mad
Fisty cuffs when they throw shade and show wrath
Bar Kamtzah thought no way it could go bad
He needed to first Roeh et HaNolad
If you seek a re-habilitation
Be your own accountability
There's a fine line between humilitation
and the perpetrator's humility
Chorus:
Don't be afraid to be humble
ask for forgiveness
or greater troubles
We will bear witness X2
Don't be afraid to be humble
Disagreements start with a stumble
miscommunications all in a jumble
It won't solve all disconnects but certainly some will
Ask for forgiveness
Heeding this task is the simplest
Why stay stuck in the past of a hitlist
Sure enough you'll soon bask in a lived bliss
Or greater troubles
ignored hatred struggles
You see it from your catered bubbles
Than it's less Veahavta and more neighbor's knuckles
We will bear witness
Love in our community's marriages
That's prosperity and shared riches
We see scarcity lest the city's scared with this
Chorus:
Don't be afraid to be humble
ask for forgiveness
or greater troubles
We will bear witness X2

Chorus:
All day up to his neck in sand (sand)
living the life of the mind X2
Covering his heart with demand (-mands)
blocking his own Neshama’s wind
All day up to his neck in sand, living the life of the mind
Verse 1:
Rashbi and his son, think it through imagine them, teaching through their practicum both secluded in a cave.
Were they addicts gone workaholics tragic pawns tryna always pack it on or were they really truly being brave?
Shimon bar Yohai parallels Natan Scharansky,
both prisoners of conscience and aren’t seen,
Somehow survived on miracles and Torah seeds.
And both struggled with their reentry
Out of trials look up at stars and down
Their glow will make it hard to drown
We all do our own part to crown
Ribbono Shel Olam, The one above, it starts with how
Rashbi showed his buddies the way that he could shoulder studies life in shoulda’s ugly not taking risk sure does sully
But Rashbi’s road was muddy, drove the buggy over bodies, his approach was nutty slow and steady Torah Datti
Chorus:
All day up to his neck in sand, living the life of the mind X2
Covering his heart with demand,
blocking his own Neshama’s wind
All day up to his neck in sand, living the life of the mind
Verse 2:
Abound yet without loving connection it slowly withered away
Left his wife, he said it was for protection, not even with her to stay
I don’t need nobody else with me but G-d, 365 Yom Kippur today
Emancipation of your body’s not odd, for the liberation why even deliberate?
We circle around and raise his teachings
with these words and sounds amazed he’s reaching
12 years of god yearning just to raise the ceiling
for torah learning but was it misplaced in meaning
caused intense burning and moral unfurling
Alone with his son studying texts so complex and both are perplexed they merge to merely vex but most of life is inside of the mystery’s effects (double x)
Chorus:
All day up to his neck in sand, living the life of the mind X2
Covering his heart with demand,
blocking his own Neshama’s wind
All day up to his neck in sand, living the life of the mind
