A bright, festive Shavuot song from RIGLI and JewishSong.org
Shavuot is the late-spring festival that celebrates the giving of the Torah and the first fruits of the harvest. It is a holiday of green fields, sweet dairy treats, flowers, and study that lasts late into the night.
RIGLI gives Shavuot a brand new, joyful song that blends klezmer warmth with a little salsa and Motown sparkle, written so a class of children can learn it quickly and sing it with their whole hearts.
The song carries the feeling of Shavuot: the freshness of the harvest, the joy of receiving the Torah, and the warmth of celebrating together. It belongs to the wider world of JEWISH, a musical project in which young people bring old Jewish songs and holidays to life again.
Turn on captions in the video above and sing along with the whole class. A printable lyric sheet is coming soon. Want it sooner for your choir or classroom? Write to walter@jewishsong.org and we will send it.
