Al Takeh – words by Sara Levi-Tanai, music by Emanuel Amiran
This song addresses the Yom Kippur tradition of asking for forgiveness from those that we know that we have wronged. For ages 4 and up, I invite the children to stand in a circle, and then
we do the dance listed below. For ages 4 and under, I do this as a sitting song, swaying back and forth on the final phrases. The children often spontaneously put their arms around each other.

lyrics

Al takeh, lo na-eh. (show “no” with pointer finger waving
back and forth)
Ten li yad, od echad. (put out right hand, then left hand)
Chaverim tovim ne-he-yeh, (in a circle move clockwise,
Chaverim tovim ne-he-yeh. then counter-clockwise,
Chaverim tovim ne-he-yeh, varying direction
Chaverim tovim ne-he-yeh. with each phrase.)
Please don’t fight, it’s not right. (repeat above directions)
Let’s hold hands, left and right.
What good friends we all shall be,
What good friends we all shall be.
What good friends we all shall be,
What good friends we all shall be.
