Theme Song
Come along, and join me.
I’m Leli. Are you ready?
It’s not just me alone,
now it’s all of us.
We’ll start our journey,
a journey to discovery.
One, two, three — are you ready?
Let’s go, let’s grow! Go grow.
Let us grow, give me your hand.
So much beauty in this Land.
Not just fruits and trees —
opportunities.
Each and every act we do
improves us — we are better Jews.
כי אדם עץ השדה
Let’s go, let’s grow!
Caring is sharing,
giving is living.
Feeling for others,
sisters and brothers.
Ready to grow?
Let’s go, let’s grow!
One, two, three, let’s go.
