about

Eretz Yisarel Sheli – words and music by Datia Ben Dor
This song is a wonderful song for teaching simple Hebrew,
by making illustrations of each of the items in the song. As I
introduce each new part of the song, I show the corresponding
picture, and continue to reinforce the words visually.
Eretz Yisrael – (the land of Israel, I show a map of the country)
Bayit (house); Etz (tree); Kvish (road); Gesher (bridge); Shir (song)

lyrics

Eretz Yisrael my land, shines in golden weather.
Who built, who planted? All of us together.
I built a bayit, b’Eretz Yisrael,
So we have an eretz, and we have a bayit, b’Eretz Yisrael.

Eretz Yisrael my land, shines in golden weather.
Who built, who planted? All of us together.
I planted an etz, b’Eretz Yisrael,
So we have an eretz, and we have a bayit, and we have an etz, b’Eretz
Yisrael.

Eretz Yisrael my land, shines in golden weather.
Who built, who planted? All of us together.
I paved a kvish, b’Eretz Yisrael,
So we have an eretz, and we have a bayit, and we have an etz, and we
have a kvish, b’Eretz Yisrael.

Eretz Yisrael my land, shines in golden weather.
Who built, who planted? All of us together.
I built a gesher, b’Eretz Yisrael,
So we have an eretz, and we have a bayit, and we have an etz, and we
have a kvish, and we have a gesher, b’Eretz Yisrael.

Eretz Yisrael my land, shines in golden weather.
Who built, who planted? All of us together.
I wrote a shir, b’Eretz Yisrael,
So we have an eretz, and we have a bayit, and we have an etz, and we
have a kvish, and we have a gesher, and we have a shir, al Eretz Yisrael.
