The TorahThe Five Books of Moses, and the foundation of all of Jewish life and lore. The Torah is considered the heart and soul of the Jewish people, and study of the Torah is a high mitzvah. The Torah itself a scroll that is hand lettered on parchment, elaborately dressed and decorated, and stored in a decorative ark. It is chanted aloud on Mondays, Thursdays, and Shabbat, according to a yearly cycle. Sometimes "Torah" is used as a colloquial term for Jewish learning and narrative in general. tells the story of how when we were slaves
God sent a prophet to face the Pharaoh, our ancestors were saved
Why did God need MosesThe quintessential Jewish leader who spoke face to face with God, unlike any other prophet, and who freed the people from Egypt, led them through the desert for forty years, and received the Torah on Mt. Sinai. His Hebrew name is Moshe.? Perhaps to show
That people have the power and we’re all part of the whole

Chorus:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Raise one voice, the truth that is your own
Raise one voice, you are not alone
For from the one comes many
And from the many – one
For justice to be done
Raise one voice
Â
At times we’ve been the pharaoh
And other times enslaved
Now our task is to remember
That in God’s image we’re all made
So where we see oppression
To stand up and speak out
When power’s not merciful and just … just
Â
[Chorus]
Â
Defending human dignity’s divine
We soar when we help every soul to shine

[Chorus]
