ROSH HASHANAH HEAD OF THE YEAR

Rosh Hashanah head of the year
Rosh Hashanah head of the year
Rosh Hashanah head of the year
We’re so glad that everybody’s here!

Teshuva Tephila Tzedakah
Teshuva Tephila Tzedakah
Teshuva Tephila Tzedakah
Teshuva Tephila Tzedakah

On Rosh Hashanah it’s the start of everything
A brand new year, make it fresh, let freedom ring
We blow the shofar to wake the slumbering
Alive, awake, alert is how it goes and so we sing:

Rosh Hashanah head of the year
Rosh Hashanah head of the year
Rosh Hashanah head of the year
We’re so glad that everybody’s here!

Teshuva Tephila Tzedakah
Teshuva Tephila Tzedakah
Teshuva Tephila Tzedakah
Teshuva Tephila Tzedakah

Tephila means talk to God, it means to pray
Teshuva means to return, to find your way
Tzedakah means charity, give it away
On Rosh Hashanah this is what we do, now everybody say:

Rosh Hashanah head of the year
Rosh Hashanah head of the year
Rosh Hashanah head of the year
We’re so glad that everybody’s here!

Teshuva Tephila Tzedakah, you can say it
Teshuva Tephila Tzedakah, you can do it
Teshuva Tephila Tzedakah, it’s so easy
Teshuva Tephila Tzedakah, one more time, let’s sing:

Rosh Hashanah head of the year
Rosh Hashanah head of the year
Rosh Hashanah head of the year
We’re so glad that everybody’s here!

Teshuva Tephila Tzedakah, say it three more times
Teshuva Tephila Tzedakah, aren’t you glad it rhymes?
Teshuva Tephila Tzedakah, it’s so sublime
Teshuva Tephila Tzedakah
