Banu Hoshech Ligaresh – words by Sara Levi-Tanai, music by
Emanuel Amiran-Punichov
This is a joyful celebration song. Children march around with
one hand extended up into the air as though they are carrying a
torch to light the night. On the word “surah,” stomp one foot and
throw your arm up in a cheering motion to emphasize those words,
(“go away” in English.)

lyrics

Banu Hoshech Ligaresh, Bayadeinu or va-esh.
Col echad hu or katan, Vikulanu or eitan.
Surah hoshech! Hala shchor! Surah mipnei ha’or!
Surah hoshech! Hala shchor! Surah mipnei ha’or!
We have come to oust the dark, in our hands the light and spark.
Each of us is one small light, but together we shine bright.
Go away deepest darkest night! Go away, give way to the light!
Go away deepest darkest night! Go away, give way to the light!
Banu Hoshech Ligaresh, Bayadeinu or va-esh.
Col echad hu or katan, Vikulanu or eitan.
Surah hoshech! Hala shchor! Surah mipnei ha’or!
Surah hoshech! Hala shchor! Surah mipnei ha’or!
