about

Sisu V’Simchu/Torah Tzivah Lanu Moshe/Yisrael V’Oraita – traditional folk songs
These are dancing songs, meant to be danced around the Torah on Simchat Torah as it is moving around the synagogue. For children, I use these songs to train their ears so that they can start to hear words within this rush of a foreign language.
For toddlers, I tell them to jump every time they hear the word “Torah.” The first song has very few, just at the end of each phrase. The second song is full of jumping! The third song has none until you reach the chorus.
For ages 4 – 7, we do this as a circle dance, changing direction at the end of each musical phrase.
For ages 7 and up, I teach the grapevine step and we do a simple Hora.

lyrics
