Grasp onto just one branch on the tree of life,

By avoiding speech that causes strife.

The laws of lashon hara, society ignores,

So if you avoid lashon hara, the reward is uniquely yours!

A Jew without Torah is like a fish without water,

So it is crucial to educate our sons and daughters.

The importance of learning cannot be overblown,

Without learning, even prayer is not enough on its own.

Yaakov went to yeshiva for 14 years,

That prepared him to face Lavan's sneers.

Contemplate a mitzvah's reward,

And the yetzer hara will be ignored!

Our abandonment of the Torah will be an indictment,

Avraham offered his son, Yitzchak, with excitement.

Every time the study of the Torah is ignored,

We lose out on its everlasting reward.

Don't neglect Torah, heaven forbid,

Make sure to teach it to your kids.

The effort spent in Torah is well worth the return,

So get started, because there is always more to learn!

If today there are no lambs,

Tomorrow there will be no rams.

The Torah is magnificent,

Everyone that supports it is significant!

The money spent on Torah is compared to a nut,

A new nut replaces the one that was cut.

Zebulun is happy going out to sea,

Because his success will be guaranteed!

Not learning Torah is a crime,

So make sure learning is done during free time.

Don't allow our Torah study to become lax,

Because that makes us vulnerable to Amalek's attack!

Bear the Torah like an ox bears its yoke,

We will be rewarded for the Torah we spoke.

We are obligated in Torah whether we are poor or wealthy,

Or whether we are old, young, sick, or healthy!

Those who learn Torah are second to none,

They are so bright, they shine like the sun.

The Torah has a sweet reward,

And it connects a person to the Lord.
