ROSH HASHANA 2026

Join us in singing the familiar Israeli tunes in both English and Hebrew!

She doesn’t know
What I’m going through

SHLOMO ARTZI

And now I feel as if I really

Don’t know anything

And now I’m speeding up

my own steps too

She’s looking through her window down

And sees me passing by her house

She doesn’t know

What I’m going through

Deep in her blue amazing eyes

I can see a big hot moon

Now she is just as sad as I am, it is true

She’s taking out my clothes and then

She eats the berry by herself

She doesn’t know

What I’m going through

Oh, although there is no love that never ends

This ending seems to me

Like it’s cursed somehow

I walk with the people on the street

Shouting - oh oh oh oh oh oh

Just tell her now

So I continue walking like it’s

Not completely doomed

It turns my stomach and it’s killing my nights too

I think the love I have with her

Yeah - It’s the most important thing

She doesn’t know

What I’m going through

Oh oh although

There is no love that never ends

This ending seems to me

Like it’s cursed somehow

I walk with the people on the street

Shouting - oh oh oh oh oh

Just tell her now

(oh oh oh oh)x3

Just tell her now

(oh oh oh oh) x3

When she is leaving I stay here

I never go away

Walking in the city, and I’m twisting in my wounds

I go back to my room and crash

I’m writing songs and singing them

She doesn’t know

What I’m going through

Oh - although there is no love that never ends

This ending seems to me

Like it’s cursed somehow

I walk with the people on the street

Shouting - oh oh oh oh oh oh

Just tell her now

You Can't Run Away

Yoram Tehar-lev / Shmulik Kraus

You can’t run away
Leaving me so lonely
You can’t run away
Just walk out on me
You can’t run away
When the leaves are falling
It’s raining outside and you
are staying with me

Yeah even if you tell me
No point to try
Yeah even if you tell me
There is no time
Yeah even if you tell me
You are no longer mine (you’re not mine)

And if you would want
To feel like you're home here
I’ll gently caress
Your black braided hair
And if you should want
Not to cry at night, dear
I’ll sit right here, my love
You know I’ll be there

Yeah - even if you tell me
No point to try
Yeah even if you tell me
There is no time
Yeah even if you tell me
You are no longer mine

And if you should wish
Just to run away, girl
I’ll open my door
And I‘ll let you fly
And if you should wish
To forget forever
My lips on your cheek
Will gently kiss you goodbye

Yeah - even if you tell me
Don’t you try
Yeah even if you tell me
There’s no time
Yeah even if you tell me
You are no longer mine

You can’t run away
Leaving me so lonely
It’s raining outside and you
are staying with me

It’s raining outside and you
are staying with me

It’s raining outside and you
are staying with me

FREEDOM IS CALLING

YAKOV GILAD / YEHUDA POLIKER

For years now you and I

Are trapped together

Too long here with each other

In the puddle’s mud

Today I’m on my way there

Though I can’t really say where

Don’t be sad

In every ending

There is always a start

And saying goodbye

Can be hard

Now is the time

It’s the day, it’s the moment

My freedom is calling me

From every road

It’s the time, it’s the day, it’s the moment

My freedom is calling me to a new life

On my own

Yeah - you and I are drowning

in a whirlpool

Entangled in an endless loop

Approaching a dead end

Too long here with each other

The fear and guilt get harder

Don’t be sad

In every ending

There is always a start

And the road there

Is always so hard

Now is the time

It’s the day, it’s the moment

My freedom is calling me

From every road

It’s the time, it’s the day, it’s the moment

My freedom is calling me to a new life

On my own

Freedom is just priceless

They can’t get me free of charge

No amount will ever buy me

There’s no force that’s strong enough

Now is the time

It’s the day, it’s the moment

My freedom is calling me

From every road

It’s the time, it’s the day, it’s the moment

freedom is calling me to a new life

On my own

Now is the time

It’s the day, it’s the moment

My freedom is calling me

From every road

It’s the time, it’s the day, it’s the moment

Yeah, freedom is calling

Sweet Sixteen

Eli Mohar / Kobi Oshrat & Zvika Mor

Sweet sixteen, the boy grew older

Turmoil in his heart

She was beautiful

Just like the full moon in the dark

Roses blooming in her cheeks

And sunshine in her hair

Pretty golden curls

Her neck so white her skin so fair

And he had loved her sight

And he would dream at night

He was in looooooove

And that’s how the sweet sadness had begun

The loneliness was choking all the fun

Sweet sixteen the boy grew older

Turmoil in his heart

In the morning he’d write songs

Her name he'd whisper out

On the street where she was living

He’d hang out all day

Just to watch her walking with her friends

Along the way

And he had loved her sight

And he would dream at night

He was in looooooove

And that’s how the sweet sadness had begun

The loneliness was choking all the fun...

She was never really with him in his homeroom class

He would only see her during recess - on the grass

And that’s how the sweet sadness had begun

The loneliness was choking all the fun...

Pretty girl and boy together

This is how it was

Pretty girl surrounded with

The happiness and warmth

Roses blooming in her cheeks

And sunshine in her hair

Pretty golden curls

Her neck so white her skin so fair

And he had loved her sight

And he would dream at night

He was in looooooove

And that’s how the sweet sadness had begun

The loneliness was choking all the fun

And that’s how the sweet sadness had begun

The loneliness was choking all the fun

AMERICA

BERRY SAKHAROF / RAMI FORTIS

Uncle Sam’s a superstar

He sells me rifles and grenades

Vietnam is not around

And we are also far away

Miami nice and quite okay

They aren’t throwing stones all day

Disneyland and stars but hey

They also have the moon on sale

No more, lots more,

Hollywood cannot remember

No more, lots more,

Hollywood cannot remember

How and what?

How many songs are written about America?

We come and go and come again to America.

How many songs are written about America?

We come and go and come again to America.

Uncle Sam looks up and stares

at me from crispy dollar bills

Drug dealer, actor, president

Are business partners doing deals

It’s all allowed if you just pay

You can be god now if you will

Bright colors in a perfect world

And only us we’re crying still

No more, lots more, Hollywood cannot remember

How and what?

How many songs are written about America?

We come and go and come again to America

How many songs are written about America

come and go and come again to America

SAN FRANCISCO BY THE WATER

SHALOM HANOCH

I'm sitting in San Francisco by the water

My eyes immersed in green and blue along the bay

It's nice in San Francisco by the water

So why do I now feel so far away?

Across from me the geese

Are sailing with the boats

The Golden Gate is grand

A scene out of a movie

It's sad that you're not here

To see it but I know

You would tell me that from here you're not returning

I'm sitting in San Francisco by the water

My eyes immersed in green and blue along the bay

It’s nice in San Francisco by the water

So why do I now feel so far away?

I'm watching Dr. J

He’s playing like the GOAT

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Can touch the sky while floating

I wish that you were here

With me to see it all

So pretty here in San Francisco by the water

I’m sitting in San Francisco by the water

My eyes immersed in green and blue along the bay

It's nice in San Francisco by the water

Ahhhh

So why do I now feel so far away?

All of a sudden I feel homesick

I wanna go back to my swamp

Just sit in my cafe back home and laugh with my old buddies

Give me a piece of my green hill

And a piece of my own puddle

Yeah I just love to fall in love with my small homeland far away

So warm, and so amazing

I’m sitting in San Francisco by the water

My eyes immersed in green and blue along the bay

It's nice in San Francisco by the water

Ahhhh

So why do I now feel so far away?

I’m sitting in San Francisco by the water

My eyes immersed in green and blue along the bay

It's nice in San Francisco by the water

Ahhhh

So why do I now feel so far away?

I feel so far away...

Coming Up

Ehud Manor / Matti Caspi

It’s a wonder

She’s ready to be with me here

It’s a wonder

We’ve been together all these years

There’s no wonder

You can change for someone dear

There’s no wonder

We are singing, loud and cleeeeeear

It’s coming up

Here is a reason to believe, a cause to think about

It’s coming up

Here is the reason to believe

That love is coming ‘round

All of a sudden

All the questions are addressed

All of a sudden

Me and her can get no rest

It’s so sudden

Prayers answered and we’re blessed

With each other

We are singing from our chests

It’s coming up

Here is a reason to believe, a cause to think about

It’s coming up

Here is the reason to believe

That love is coming ‘round

No one knows how

This long day will end at all

No one knows how

This play ends when curtain falls

Got to know how

To keep learning from mistakes

Now we know there

Are more choices we can make

It’s coming up

Here is a reason to believe, a cause to think about

It’s coming up

Here is the reason to believe

That love is coming ‘round

Here is the reason to believe

That love is coming ‘round

Here is the reason to believe

That love is coming ‘round!

DAYS OF INNOCENCE

TZRUYA LAHAV / RAMI KLEINSTEN

When you get to his cozy house

And you’ll find him there, living

Tell him I’m still waiting up every night

But don’t tell him that I’m grieving

Tell him I’m still where I am

Send my regards and embrace

And ask him to raise one more toast to my life

And our days of innocence

The time that is left

And no mercy still

No, I have no regrets

And no hopes for myself

That’s all that there is

So what can connect, after all that had passed

Two people to each other

A shadow of dreams, the weight of the past

The loneliness and the shudder

I am tired of covering up

Tired of chasing down

Faced with the choices, to pay or give up

I will pay the full amount

I’m sure he remembers

How I came to his house

In search of the perfect answer

But now all that sand

is blinding our eyes

A storm gasping for some air there

The time that is left

And no mercy still

No, I have no regrets

And no hopes for myself

That’s all that there is

The time that is left

And no mercy still

No, I have no regrets

And no hopes for myself

That’s all that there is

TIME OUT

ARIK EINSTEIN / SHEM TOV LEVI

To take a time out, and not think at all

Just sit there on the beach and feel so calm

To let my body loosen up and just relax

Allow my heart to take a break from all the stress

Believe me that I know it’s not the time

And to be honest I’m not ready now

But it’s my soul that needs a pause from all the aches

To take a breath so I could get right back to work

It might be just a little crisis that will pass

Or maybe I am tired and I need the rest

To take a time out, and not think at all

Just sit there on the beach and feel so calm

To let my body loosen up and just relax

Allow my heart to take a break from all the stress

It might be just a little crisis that will pass

Or maybe I am tired and I need the rest

...To let my body loosen up and just relax

Allow my heart to take a break from all the stress

It might be just a little crisis that will pass

Or maybe I am tired and I need the rest

To take a time out, and not think at all

Just sit there on the beach and feel so calm

Let's PRETEND I'm YOURS

ALON OLEARTCHIK

Let’s pretend I’m yours today

That I love you, let’s just play

Yeah, let’s play the game

I won’t mind again

If we say I’m yours for just

a moment

And let’s say you are mine too

That you love me, if you do,

I won’t leave you, but

I may drive you nuts

If we say that I am yours

Time will tell us

If we are for real

We might as well, yeah

Play a second game right here

Since we’re here and it feels nice

Here’s the board, let’s roll the dice

Like monopoly, everything could be

Let’s just say that I am yours

Time will tell us

If we are for real

We might as well, yeah

Have a rematch if you will

Since we’re here and it feels nice

Here’s the board, let’s roll the dice

Like monopoly, everything could be

Let’s just say that I am yours

yeah

GOOD WORRIES

SHIMRIT OR / SHALOM HANOCH

In my town there were two maidens there

Two maidens fair and beautiful they were

And they looked alike as if they were

As if a pair of twins - and not aware

That I loved them both, so hard to tell

One was mine, the other mine as well

This is how I got good worries - oh

Two of them and they don’t know

One about the other, no

One of them I took to mountain peaks

To see the sun, its rising in the dusk

And the other to the forest deeps

To see it setting when the day had passed

And I loved them both, so hard to tell

One was mine, the other mine as well

This is how I got good worries - oh

Two of them and they don’t know

One about the other though

And the days, so fast they fly away

And how the nights get shorter by the day

And my angels hinting, time to choose

Who shall I keep and which one will I lose?

And I loved them both, so hard to tell

One was mine, the other mine as well

This is how I got good worries - oh

Two of them and they don’t know

One about the other though

Yes I loved them both, so hard to tell

One was mine the other mine as well

This is how I got good worries so

Two of them and they don’t know

One about the other - no...

Surfing Time

Danny Sanderson

A clear blue day of sunshine
No clouds in the sky
So me and all the guys now
To the beach we ride
We took the car from daddy
And the girls are here
When we're there and ready
The surfboards will appear

(surfing time)
We are surfing here today (day)
And we're riding all the waves (out ahead)
Out ahead a wave so tall (hey)
Hey, watch out, try not to fall
(from the south)
From the southern sands
(southern sands)
To the northern end
I only need my surfboard here with me

Waiting in the water
For a wave to ride
But if it's not a big one
The surfboard barely glides
Now the wind is blowing
And the waves are fine
This is what we needed
Now it's surfing time

(surfing time)
We are surfing here today (day)
And we're riding all the waves (out ahead)
Out ahead a wave so tall (hey)
Hey, watch out, try not to fall
(from the south)
From the southern sands
(southern sands)
To the northern end
I only need my surfboard here with me

The sun sets in the evening
And the day is gone
Everyone is sad that
We are back at home
Summer break is over
Back to school I guess
But none of us will go there
If forecast calls for waves

(surfing time)
We are surfing here today (day)
And we're riding all the waves (out ahead)
Out ahead a wave so tall (hey)
Hey, watch out, try not to fall
(from the south)
From the southern sands
(southern sands)
To the northern end

I only need my surfboard here with me
I only need my surfboard here with me
I only need my surfboard here with me

Spaceships

Rami Fortis / Berry Sakharof

On a slippery ground
With no rail to hold
I’m losing my grip
There’s no edge to the world
Without a past
And without memory
I am the hero
Who rides in my dreams

Now all the spaceships are out there to chase you
Yeah all the spaceships call me back home
When heavy winds are blowing against you
The spaceships call
To be or not to be or not at all

Just like a lost soul that has nowhere to hide
I sail to the light aboard a ghost ship
The future is chasing the now is a gun
I am on a trial and they’re ready to whip

Now all the spaceships are out there to chase you
All the spaceships call me back home
When heavy winds are blowing against you
The spaceships call
To be or not to be at all

All that was said and done ---- before and now
Suddenly snaps, flying into space, fading away

Now all the spaceships are out there to chase you
Yeah all the spaceships call me back home
When heavy winds are blowing against you
The spaceships call
To be or not to be at all

Now all the spaceships are out there to chase you
Yeah all the spaceships call me back home
When heavy winds are blowing against you
The spaceships call
To be or not to be at all

Ronnie

Danny Sanderson

Ronnie, you just told me
You’ll be on your way
And you’re really sorry
There's nothing left to say

Before you leave forever
And just slip away
I’ll take my chance and say it:
Ronnie - please just stay

Ronnie, stay with me
The sun will never shine again
If you’re not there to see
Ronnie, stay with me
I know that you and I are meant to be

Ronnie here without you
I don’t know what I’ll do
Your letters won’t say how to
I really have no clue
I don’t want every evening
To search for girls and then
Not understand the meaning
Just give me all you can

Ronnie, stay with me
The sun will never shine again
If you’re not there to see
Ronnie, stay with me
I know that you and I are meant to be

Ronnie, yes I know that
Sad moments have to be
But let’s not let the moment
Be our reality

Ronnie, stay with me
The sun will never shine again
If you’re not there to see
Ronnie, stay with me

I know just

That the two of us...
I know just

That the two of us -
I know that you and I

Are meant to be

Free Is Completely Alone

Yakov Gilad / Yehuda Poliker

24 hours a day, every day
We thought we learned all the wisdom that way
We could never decide

Or get into our heads
That one-plus-one equals

So much more than that

24 hours a day, every day
We built up a wall

And alone we will stay
So we each went apart thinking freedom, you bet
But free is completely alone, don't forget

That free is completely alone
Yes, free is completely alone

חופשי זה - חופשי זה לגמרי לבד

Cause free is, free is completely alone
Yes, free is, free is completely alone

24 hours a day, every day

Mistakes have happened again, same old way
Who could know when the sum up was done
That for us, one plus one

Equals really a ton

'Cause free is, free is completely alone

So we each went apart thinking freedom, you bet
But free is completely alone, don't forget

That free is completely alone

'Cause free is, free is completely alone
Yes, free is, free is completely alone

'Cause free is, free is completely alone

Yes, free is, free is completely alone
Free is
Free is
Free is

Free is....

Four AM

Yakov Gilad / Yehudit Ravitz

It’s 4 AM and I’m not sleeping

So hard to lay down when I’m all alone

It’s 4 AM and I am weaving

Mid-summer’s dream, as my mind’s drifting on

I am alone and nothing helps

Might have a crisis by myself

When are you coming back?

It’s 4 AM, the window’s open

I see the moon peeking in through the shades

It’s 4 AM, the wind is blowing

And with the curtain it makes sounds and waves

You don’t remember anyway

You left me here and went your way

When will you come and stay?

הזמן עובר בעצלתיים

ושמש באה בשמים

אני לבד אבל בינתיים

איפה אתה

איפה אני

The time moves slowly, agonizing

The sun is already rising

I’m by myself - and meantime I think

Where are you now

And where am I

It’s 4 AM, turned on the radio

It only made me a bit more depressed

It’s 4 AM I am in bed though

I have just memories and nothing else

You don’t remember anyway

You said you’ll come back soon, so hey

When will you come and stay?

The time moves slowly, agonizing

The sun is already rising

I’m by myself - and meantime I think

Where are you now

And where am I?

It’s 4 AM and I’m not sleeping

So hard to lay down when I’m all alone

It’s 4 AM and I am weaving

Mid-summer’s dream, as my mind’s drifting on

I’m by myself and nothing helps

If you won’t come - then someone else

When are you coming back?

The time moves slowly, agonizing

The sun is already rising

I’m by myself - and meantime I think

Where are you now

When are you coming back?

No Way Out

Yoav Ginai / Mitch Hiller

Walking down the street with tension
Windows all look cloned
Young girls waiting for the action
Their neon eyes are on
The city winking, city sinking

Follows a bad route

אין מוצא

לא זזים מכאן

אין מוצא

ואוזל הזמן

אין מוצא

ורק האור דוהר, מתגבר

אין מוצא

No way out
Can’t get out of here
No way out
And the end is near
No way out
And just the light is charging so fast
No way out

Asphalt melting on the road and
Buildings start to crack
Someone kneels
The game is over
There is no way back
All the sewers like a puddle
Merging with the cloud

No way out
Can’t get out of here
No way out
And the end is near
No way out
And just the light is charging so fast
No way out
No escape allowed
No way out
It’s a dead end now
No way out
And just the light is charging so fast
No way out
No way out
No way out
No way out

No way out

Can’t get out of here
No way out

And the end is near
No way out

And just the light is charging so fast
No way out
No escape allowed
No way out
I can’t help it now
No way out
And just the light is charging so fast

No way out!

It's My Bad

Rachel Shapira / Izhar Ashdot

You were standing there just frozen
And you looked so shocked and sad
'Cause I stepped where I should not have
And I hurt you pretty bad
Then I felt your heart was beating
And your state was hard to bear
So my heart went out to you, dear
When I lost it

Right there

טו טו טו טו

And the tighter that you shrank there
I just went too far along
I carried on and added
But I knew that it was wrong
And I wanted to just tell you
Let’s forget it, let it go
But my mouth just kept on running
Like an outlaw

From the law

tu tu tu tu…

Couldn’t tell you what I’m feeling
Wasn’t able to recall
Didn’t hear what you were saying
What you told me if at all

And much later, when I figured
Just imagine how I felt
It was quiet, very quiet
I was praying you were well
So whatever you are thinking
Try to picture me instead
How I’m telling you my darling
I’m so sorry, it’s my bad

tu tu tu tu…

Oh oh oh

I Am In Love WIth You

Micha Shitrit / Arkadi Duchin

I am in love with you
Because I am in love with me
I solve your loneliness
And you solve mine you see
I’m so in love with you
And you love me
And if you want to show me yours
I’ll show you mine if you agree

Because I am in love with me
I solve your loneliness
And you solve mine you see

המרחב הזה מלא באנשים

שלא רואים דבר מלבד עצמם

כמו במועדון ריקודים ענק

נעים לצליל מאד מיוחד

שאיש אינו שומע מלבדם

This space is full of people who can’t see
They can’t see anything besides themselves
Just like a huge noisy dancing club
They’re moving to a sound that only they can hear
That only they can hear and no one else
That only they can hear and no one else
That only they can hear and no one else
That only they can hear and no one else

I am in love with you
Because I am in love with me
And that’s the only truth
You know I’ll never lie to me
I'm so in love with you
And you love me
And if you want to show me yours
I’ll show you mine so you can see

This space is full of people who can’t see
They can’t see anything besides themselves
Just like a huge noisy dancing club
They’re moving to a sound that only they can hear
That only they can hear and no one else
That only they can hear and no one else
That only they can hear and no one else
That only they can hear and no one else

This space is full of people who can’t see
They can’t see anything besides themselves
Just like a huge noisy dancing club
They’re moving to a sound that only they can hear
That only they can hear and no one else
That only they can hear and no one else
That only they can hear and no one else
That only they can hear and no one else

I am in love with you

The GRAVEL WAY

YAKOV GILAD / CORINNE ALLAL

‎‏I’m walking down the gravel way

‎‏It twists and turns like yesterday

‎‏And once again the same old cricket plays

As it hides inside the cactus maze

‎‏Two cypress trees at the front gate

‎‏Guard the entrance to my mom’s estate

‎‏And on the concrete post my name’s engraved

‎‏Where I carved it once, all by myself

וריח מלונים

עם דבק אורנים

נופל כבד כמו השנים

אבל תמיד מסביר פנים

‎‏The melons’ scented breeze

‎‏The resin of the trees

‎‏Now falling heavy like the years

‎‏But always greet me when I’m here

‎‏I’m returning on the gravel way

‎‏Looking for the kids who used to play

And whistling a familiar tune, but they

‎‏They don’t recall it anyway

‎‏A bike that used to cross the fields

‎‏With rusty mudguards, missing wheel

‎‏And on the tree two swings are standing still

‎‏Only swinging in the windy chill

‎‏The melons’ scented breeze

‎‏The resin of the trees

‎‏Now falling heavy like the years

‎‏But always greet me when I’m here

‎‏I’m going back on the gravel way

‎‏Thinking of dust and ashes, then, today -

‎‏How thing were different, all that went away

‎‏And how it’s getting cold and gray

‎‏The melons’ scented breeze

‎‏The resin of the trees

‎‏Now falling heavy like the years

‎‏But always greet me when I’m here
