Torah Tziva

תּורָה צִוָּה לָנוּ משֶׁה מורָשָׁה קְהִלַּת יַעֲקב

The Torah was commanded to us through Moshe.
It is an inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.

We are going on a boat far away,
We have brought so many things to enjoy our stay,
In our suitcases we each have a treasure,
Something so wonderful to have it is a pleasure.

Do you want to see what I hold so dear,
It is diamonds so brilliant and clear,
Your treasure can't compare,
To my coins so old and rare.

But look at my clothes so fancy and fine,
What about my jewelry they are totally mine,
Our treasures are surely the best,
Gold and money are better than the rest.

What about you, Where is your treasure?
Surely you don't have anything better,
I have something special more than money and gems,
It is the Torah I learn a gift from Hashem.

It is a treasure for every single Jew,
The holy words of Hashem for me and you,
Everyone laughed, it can't be true,
How could Torah be a treasure for you?

Surely money is better or fancy shoes,
Jewelry, diamonds something we could use,
But then pirates came, everyone cried,
They stole all the treasures they could find.

I am so lucky isn't it clear to see,
My treasure is still with me while yours was lost at sea,
More holy more special than jewels and gems,
Our precious Torah a gift from Hashem.
