Etz haChayim ~ עץ החיים ~ The Tree of Life

Tree of Life

Veins, rivers, lightning, roots




"Eits chayim hi lamachazikim ba,
Vetomecheha me-ushar.

Deracheha - d'rechei no-am,
Vechol netivotecha shalom…

Hashiveinu Adonai eilecha v'nashuva


Chadeish chadeish yameinu k'kedem
Chadeish chadeish yameinu k'kedem…"
"A tree of life to those who hold fast to it,
and all who cling to it find happiness.

Its ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all its paths are peace.

Help us and guide us, inspire us and provide us

With the wisdom Your Torah can show.

Cause us to learn, renew and return,
Just as in days of old."
