Starring: Gabi Wasserman Shai Dollin Elan Keshen Guest Starring: Rabbi Eliav Bock Produced by Zach Carter Lyrics: It’s Rosh Hashanah! (ey ey ey ey ey) Yo, Tallis Hood productions! Comin’ at you from Ramah in the Rockies! During the month of Elul, you can find me in my shul Blowin’ shofar like a maniac and acting like a fool Wearin’ all white, just lookin’ like a stunna So get turnt up cause you know its Rosh Hashanah Now listen up children cause you’re in for a treat Not any Laffy Taffy, but traditions we repeat Every year on the first two days of Tishrei We all go to shul, and from our hearts we do pray Yo welcome to my place at my grand-mama’s table A head of a fish, this aint no lox and bagel I got rainbow sprinkles on my round raisin challah Rockin’ righteous mitzvahs like a glorified baller Yo I’m walkin’ through my shul, just lookin’ for a fight I got my apple and my honey, I’m about to take a bite I’m getting’ primal in my streimel, I daven in my kittle I’m a Rosh Hashanah fiend, my haters feelin’ little I’m working through the mussaf and remembering That I’m good at spittin’ rhymes but Hashem is the king Finally its time when the Aleinu rolls around Borei pri ha’adamah, cause I’m kneeling to the ground Hashem forgive my sins, those mistakes I claim are mine Cause you know I’m only human though my rapping is divine We end when the shofar gives the knockout punch And then we shuckle from the sanctuary straight to kiddush lunch We tell the age-old story about Abe and his son Our forefathers and the sacrafices done Up on Mount Mariah when they heard that horn From there the traditions of the shofar were born Rosh Hashanah from the top, from the moment, the beginning From the head, from the heart, from the start, no more sinning Something new, something true, what to do, search your soul What’s the plan, the direction, not perfection, what’s the goal? More reflection, revelation, contemplation, take the time Dig for answers, ask the questions, make suggestions, help define I can hear the shofar calling, I think I should change my mind Listen up- no time for stalling, cause God’s giving me the time Yo sittin in the pews, hearin’ Rabbi’s sermon Talkin bout how God will need to determine If I make the cut for the coming year In the book of life, so we need to be sincere When we’re spittin’ our praise and forgiveness For the sins we committed, in times of weakness So ‘Aleinu leshabeach la’adon hakol’ Bowin’ down on my knees, like I never done before All the way to the ground with my face on the floor Dishin’ out my dough to the weak and to the poor To add a good deed to my mitzvah pool Now we’re reppin Tishrei, not chodesh Elul So get up off your feet, and hear that shofar blow To give mechilah to your friends and to your foe It’s Rosh Hashanah! (ey ey ey ey ey) Yo that was Tallis Hood! Coming at you from Ramah in the Rockies!
