[HANASHIR:4771] Re: Tu B'Shevat Music

[Andy Curry <acurry...>]

Okay.  I have a song for Tu B'shvat called "There Is a Tree (in Yisrael".
The words are below.  Warning:  It's not a fun or funny song - it's pretty.
 If you want the melody, or a recording, you can e-mail me privately.

There is a tree in Yisrael
Her leaves are green
Her fruit is sweet
The rain will fall, the wind will blow
But the tree will stand in Yisrael.

There is a tree in Yisrael
Her trunk is strong
Her roots are deep
When in her shade I am not afraid
There is a tree in Yisrael.

Bridge 1:
When we have our Tu b'shvat seder
We thank God as we eat
For the sun and the rain and a seed in the ground
What a miracle is a tree...

There is a tree in Yisrael
A tree that weeps
A tree that sings
A tree that stands to praise God's name
There is a tree in Yisrael.

Bridge 2:
As we stand beneath her branches
We always find new leaves
Torah umitzvot, chukim umishpatim
All her paths lead to peace...

Repeat 3rd verse.
