about

My Rodeph Sholom Religious School theme song for 2009-2010, which I wrote around the concept of "Amiyut" -- Jewish peoplehood. We ended the year singing it for families with the whole school and "We Are All Connected" T-shirts for everyone!

CONVERSATION STARTERS:
What things do we all have in common?
What do you think connects Jewish people all around the world?

lyrics

"WE ARE ALL CONNECTED" (by Jay Rapoport)

We are all connected
From the east side to the west
We all read our Hebrew
From the right to the left
Our holidays, traditions
And our sense of right and wrong
This is why
We belong

We are Jews
Amiyut
All our people
Connected
Around the world

We are all connected
From the US to Yisrael
No matter what our differences
No matter where our shul
We all read the Torah
When we turn thirteen years old
This is why
We are told

Chorus

We are all connected
From the first stars on Shabbat
Through candles and our blessings
And a nice big fresh challah
Dinner with our family
Recipes from the past
This is why
We last

Chorus
