This version is the German-Jewish signature melody for Simchat Torah. It is sung throughout the holiday, in the Hallel prayer, for Shir Hamaalot, and, certainly, for this text in the Simchat Torah synagogue service.

The Words

Translation


Sisu Vesimchu B'simchat Torah
Ut'nu kavod laTorah
Ki tov sachra mikol sechora
Mipaz umip'ninim yekara
 
Nagil venasis b'zot haTorah
Ki hi lanu oz ve'ora
 
More text in the Jewish prayerbook


Rejoice and be merry on Simchat Torah
And give honor to the Torah!
For her reward is greater than any business,
More valuable than jewels.
We shall rejoice and be merry on Simchat Torah,
For it is for us strength and light.
