Welcome to Emanuel Rosh HaShanah

(To the tune of “Hotel California.)

Lyrics - Rabbi Joe Black

On a Hilltop side street

A mile high in the air

Stands a wonderful Synagogue

Filled with hope, joy and prayer.

There are so many people here

On a normal weekday

But soon we’ll be overflowing

On the first of Tishrei.

 

Two Rabbis and two Cantors

And a Rabbi Emeritus

Plus a staff that’s amazing

We hire only the best.                                         

We’re getting ready for the New Year

No time to delay

And when the shofar is sounded

You can hear us say:

 

Welcome to Emanuel Rosh HaShanah

Such a Holy Day…. (Such a Holy Day)

Such a Holy Day.

Seek teshuvah at Emanuel Rosh HaShanah

It’s the Jewish way – when we sing and pray.

 

We’re vacuuming the hallways

And putting books on the shelf.

‘Cause we know that our synagogue

Won’t get clean by itself.

We dip the apple in the honey

What a special treat

We wish each other Shanah Tovah

May the New Year be sweet.

So many different options

To pray like a good Jew

We’ve got Rosh HaShanah Unplugged

And Shema Koleynu

You can go up to Shwayder

And pray at 10,200 feet

Our cantors and our choir will be singing

Our joy will be complete.

Soon we’ll all be together

As we greet the new year

If you’re looking for a spiritual home

You can find it here.

And with all the changes occurring

One thing you can believe

Once you check out Emanuel

You’ll never want to leave.
