Back by
popular demand...
The SUKKALEH Song
the nightly Sukkah anthem at
Shabbos House, which lasts long after the holiday
is translated from an old Yiddish song.
My Sukkahleh is
small,
not fancy at all,
but is specially dear to me.
Schach I threw on a bit,
hoping to cover it,
there I'd sit and think. (2X)
The wind was a
cold one,
the cracked walls were old ones,
the candles were flickering low.
At times as if dying,
but suddenly rising,
as if they did not want to go. (2X)
My sweet little
daughter
sensing the danger,
got scared and started to cry.
Father, she cried,
don't stay there outside,
the Sukkah is going to fall! (2X)
Fear not my
child,
it's been quite a while,
the Sukkahleh still stands strong.
The wind has been worse, my dear,
but it's almost 2000 years,
yet the Sukkahleh still stands strong! (2X)
