Who's going to Ona' Up to the pain Rebbe Elazar Felt? Chorus: Words have consequences X6 Verse 1: Words have consequences; negativity can kill Life is a progression of slowly. Words have consequences; negativity improving behavior As we move from childhood to adulthood Chorus: Words have consequences X6 Words have consequences; it is not for you to remind me of my roots Words have consequences; But to praise me at the gates Chorus: Words have consequences X6 This story hearkens us to consider the consequences

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

Lag B'Omer 03:26
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
