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.

If lashon hara has caused a breach,

Learning Torah can purify your speech.

Torah is not beyond the sea,

Like water, Torah is free.

Don't fault a person for your own flaw,

The way we judge others, we'll be judged by the same law.

The downfall of others is not a time to rejoice,

We have the power to uplift with our voice!

The yetzer hara can be beat,

Turning what was bitter into something sweet.

To avoid anger and riot,

It might be best to stay quiet.

In the end, when the soul returns,

We will be asked about the Torah we knew and Mishna we learned.

To gain a true sense of humility,

Consider your fallibility.

Remember what Hashem did to Miriam,

Because the spies forgot, they were in delirium.

It is best to run away from the scoffers,

And realize that anger has nothing good to offer.

An angel's height is 500 years,

It is best to stay silent in the face of jeers and sneers.

Strive to become a willing donor,

Because Hashem will return money to its rightful owner.
