Rabbi B - I Am a Mountain

RABBI B gives a Shavuot classic a little spin. Shavuot is the holiday we celebrate the receiving of the Torah. Hashem (G-d) chose to give the Jewish people the Torah on a mountain, more specifically on Mount Sinai. Hashem wanted to teach us to be proud of who we are, but not so proud that we become a show off. This song illustrates this point. Happy Shavuot everyone! Lyrics: I am a mountain so very high I can reach all the way up to the sky The Torah should be given on me For I am as tall as can be, you see I am a mountain So very wide I can reach all the way from side to side The Torah should be given on me For I am as wide as can be, you see I am much better than both of you And there are so many things I can do The Torah should be given on me For I am the best that could be, you see But little Har Sinai Just stood there and cried I know I'm not tall, I know I'm not wide How can the Torah be given on me? For I am as plain as can be you see So which mountain do you suppose Was the one that Hashem wisely chose? It wasn't the ones that were wide or high Hashem gave the Torah on Har Sinai. - I would like to add that I would have preferred to change the lyrics of Har Sinai's part. I do not think it is correct to teach children that being a kvetch and crying about things is the correct way to be. I would have liked to have written words like: Little Has Sinai did not feel bad He was always happy about the things it had He knew that Hashem made him the way he should be Think this and you too will feel so happy Or something like that! Thank you for watching and for forgiving me on the beginner style animation. I, Rabbi B, do things myself so as not to charge my fans for this type of entertainment. I love that I can offer some fun and educational material for you and I hope to make more and more. With Hashem's help, I will.
