Team of Havana (Blow their Minds) Many years have gone by, your holy face, concealed, Leaving but a distant memory. Sichos at a rally, The greatest smile that can be, It feels like a part of history. General Shmuly Tevwel T.T.T.O. Machnisei Rachamim - Sh. Simcha Lyrics by Levi Avtzon To feel that you re my Tatty, That every good deed that I do, Is watched with care and influenced by you. So hard for me to feel it as my eyes do not yet see, How you are here, doing everything with me. Chorus: Yet! Although that the pain is so great, We are striving, but how long must we wait. Rebbe I ll give it all I ve got, To strengthen the eternal knot, That ties me and every Yid to you. We cry, Yechi Hamelech! to you our king, To give you nachas is our entire being.

Team of Hachana (Rock Their World!) General Levi Wilschanski T.T.T.O. It Happened Yom Kippur Lyrics by Levi Rapoport Dear Berel I write to answer your question, How does a chossid prepare for Redemption? What did the Rebbe mean when he said to us עמדו הכן כולכם? The drive of a chossid a burning de-si-re, His eyes to behold the Mikdash of fi-re. The glow on his face, the avir he makes, Is Hinei Moshiach Ba. Each action must show the message he s sending, Moshiach is coming; this golus is ending. Each time we daven, we must demand That he gather us back to our land. The Mitzvos we do, each possuk of Torah. This is our goal, our drive for Avodah. Mission accomplished, we ll say to our Rebbe, Soon, B ezras Hashem.

A Small Piece of Heaven - HASC Lyrics by Leibelovitch Some people wonder, Why I came to camp, Where the scene s so serene and the sky s so camp-blue. Where everyone s smiling, Cheers heard through the air, A pool so refreshing, an experience so rare. But no my dear friends, It s much more I tell you, It s something much deeper, so real and so true. Yes the sports here are great, I do love my bunkmates, But it something so special, I m just not the same! It s the chayus of benching, the cries of Yechi! A feeling instilled within me. To live with Moshiach in all that I do, Rebbe! It s all thanks to you! It s the sense of great pride of being chosen by you, Ashreinu Ma Tov Chel-kei-nu!

There s one camp in the world that s just for me, That will bring out all that I can be. With Moshiach I will live, Lots of nachas I will give, To my Rebbe who cares so much for me. I will grow and I will shine, I ll make him proud all the time. Thank you Rebbe once again for the best summer you gave, Thank you for Bnei Menache-m!

Now Rebbe you re the focus of my life. So I thank you again for a summer so great, The trips with no rain, many lessons I gained.

That all what I do means so much to you. I feel like a man born anew.

I am a Tomim, The meaning of this I now know. It s me who Moshiach was waiting for, This is my true journey home! I am a Tomim

Goodman A Chossid, to his Rebbe he does cry. "I beg of you, please do listen to my plight. My child, so sick, he's about to pass away. Return him back to health, please do pray." The Rebbe - a warm smile on his face, "Please don't worry as for G-d, nothing is too late. Just check the mezuzah you'll find hanging on his door; I give you my blessing that all will be fine and well."

Excuse me are you Jewish they asked me with a charm. I didn t think twice - I gave them my arm We did The Tefillin Rap (x4) So I made up my mind on that cobblestone street, It is about time I gave my soul a treat. I couldn t care less what my friends will say. For the rest of my life, every single day I ll do The Tefillin Rap (x4) Look at what a visit to Prague can do to you, Ever since then I m a growing Jew.
