Lyrics:
CHORUS:
L’Shanah Tovah, a happy new year
L’Shanah Tovah, a healthy new year
L’Shanah Tovah, a sweet new year
For you and you and me.
Verse 1:
We start at the very beginning
And go round all over again
Like our A-B-C’s and our 1-2-3’s
From the beginning right to the end.
Chorus
Verse 2:
We dip our apples in honey
A sweet beginning to a sweet new year
We eat the challah so round, we hear the shofar sound
Yes, we hear it loud and clear.
Verse 3:
Teshuvah, we change for the better
Tefillah, we pray for the best
Tzedakah, we help other people in need
And God will take care of the rest.
Chorus
