Eitz hayim he
la’machazikim bah,
vetomheia meushar.
Dera’che’ha darkei noam
ve’chol netivo’teiha shalom


Hashiveinu Adonai eleicha v’nashuva
Chadesh yameinu k’kedem


The Torah is a Tree of Life to those who cling to Her,
Blessed are her companions.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all of her paths are peace.


Return to the source and be returned,
Renew and be renewed as it once was before.
