The Alef-Beis are the building blocks of creation and of Jewish life. In honor of their son Chaim’s Upsherin, the Shain family produced a new upbeat Alef-Beis song for all to enjoy.

When the world was created
And at every moment
Hashem has used the Alef-Beis
To make everything in it
Alef is for Avraham
The father of the yidden
Beis is for Baruch
Ata Hashem
Gimmel’s the Geulah
Moshiach will soon bring
Daled is for Davening
When we talk to our king
Hey is for Har Sinai
Where we got our holy Torah
Vov is Veohavta
Lireacha Kamocha
Zayin is for Zaidy
Ches is for Chanuka
Tes for Tallis
Yud for Yarmulka
Kaf is for Kaporos
Lamed is for Latkes
And Mem is for
many Mitzvos
Nun is for Neshama
The spark that is inside
Samach is for Siddur
Where the words all come alive
Ayin is for Esser
That is the number ten
Pey is for Peyos
The corners for Hashem
Tzaddik’s for Tzedaka
To help the poor at any time
Kuf is for Kiddush
A special cup of wine
Resh is for Refuah
Sheleima to all who need
Shin is for Shabbos
The best day of the week
Sin is for Simcha
Tav is for Torah
Tziva Lanu Moshe
Morasha Kehillas Yaakov
Sin is for Simcha
Tav is for Torah
Tziva Lanu Moshe
Morasha Kehillas Yaakov

So let’s all learn the Alef-Beis
The letters of the Torah
They’ll help us read our
Siddur, Chumash, Mishna, and Gemara
Alef is for Avraham
The father of the yidden
Beis is for Baruch
Ata Hashem
Gimmel’s the Geulah
Moshiach will soon bring
Daled is for Davening
When we talk to our king
Hey is for Har Sinai
Where we got our holy Torah
Vov is Veohavta
Lireacha Kamocha
Zayin is for Zaidy
Ches is for Chanuka
Tes for Tallis
Yud for Yarmulka
Kaf is for Kaporos
Lamed is for Latkes
And Mem is for
many Mitzvos
Nun is for Neshama
The spark that is inside
Samach is for Siddur
Where the words all come alive
Ayin is for Esser
That is the number ten
Pey is for Peyos
The corners for Hashem
Tzaddik’s for Tzedaka
To help the poor at any time
Kuf is for Kiddush
A special cup of wine
Resh is for Refuah
Sheleima to all who need
Shin is for Shabbos
The best day of the week
Sin is for Simcha
Tav is for Torah
Tziva Lanu Moshe
Morasha Kehillas Yaakov
Sin is for Simcha
Tav is for Torah
Tziva Lanu Moshe
Morasha Kehillas Yaakov
