בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה'. אֱלהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעולָם. אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָׁנוּ בְּמִצְותָיו וְצִוָּנוּ עַל מִצְוַת צִיצִית
Blessed are you God our Lord, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments, and commanded us concerning the Mitzva of Tzitzis
His camouflage jacket helps him hide,
His gun he carries by his side,
Because of his uniform, as a soldier he is identified.
To the army of Hashem we belong,
Our Jewish uniform keeps us strong.
Hashem is above us, Jewish men and boys declare,
When a Kippah on their head they wear.
The Tzizit /ציצית garment is part of their uniform too,
It reminds them of the 613 commandments to do,
Because each letter in the Hebrew Alef-Bet,
A number it does represent.
צ equals ninety and י equals ten,
Go ahead and do it again,
צ equals ninety and י equals ten,
ת equals four hundred, add it up with a pen.
Six hundred is the total so far, you're right,
Now add eight strings and five knots that are tied tight,
613 you did get!
Jewish men and boys, with their uniforms, are now set!
In this blessing, men and boys declare,
Thank you Hashem for commanding us to wear,
Tzitzit that we hold so dear,
Our commitment to Hashem is clear!
Jewish girls and women are as special as can be,
Their uniform is to dress modestly,
They can cover their elbows with long sleeved shirts,
They can cover their knees with dresses or skirts,
Modest clothing is perfect for princesses, daughters of Hashem,
Because precious things are covered and protected like a gem!
Souvenir: Tzitzit
