The theme song for my Jewish music!

CONVERSATION STARTER:
How do you show your ruach (spirit)?

lyrics

"RUACH ROCKIN'" (by Jay Rapoport)

At five years old I was rockin’ out
In my living room to Twist & Shout
Wearing my sunglasses
I was dancing

Before too long I was banging on the keys
Couldn’t reach the pedals yet with my feet
But I was rockin’
Ain’t no stoppin’

Ruach rockin’, ruach rockin’
If you got spirit than you’re never stoppin’
Ruach rockin’, ruach rockin’
If you got the ruach than you’re ready to rock

Couldn’t read a note just played what I heard
In music class I sang every word
Loved big headphones
And rock and roll

Ruach rockin’, ruach rockin’
If you got spirit than you’re never stoppin’
Ruach rockin’, ruach rockin’
If you got the ruach than you’re ready to rock

When everybody gets together and sings
It sounds better than anything
All you need is spirit and you got a lot
Anyone can Ruach Rock

Ruach rockin’, ruach rockin’
If you got spirit than you’re never stoppin’
Ruach rockin’, ruach rockin’
If you got the ruach than you’re ready to rock
