This catchy, content-rich tune is perfect for preschools, Hebrew schools, camps, or at home. • The Yad Song! • Produced and Directed by Sarah Lefton • Filmed at, and featuring the students of, Congregation Beth El in Berkeley California • From the Album Eliana Sings (About Jewish Things!) • Written and sung by: Eliana Light • Executive Producer, arranger, vocals, guitar, banjo: Matt Check • Associate producer, sound engineer: Jesse Starr • Band: Shy Kedmi, Gil Smuskowitz, Dan Barman, Jacob Tilove, Sarah Alden • The yad is an unassuming ritual object. Not as big as a menorah, not as shiny as a Kiddush cup. All you really need is a stick with a point at the end, and you have a yad. But the yad is a crucial tool, helping us read and tell our stories. It acts as an extension of our own yad, our own hand, allowing us to read from the delicate Torah scroll without the risk of damage from naturally occurring oils on the skin. It helps us get up close and personal with a beautiful piece of art, black-inked letters on a white page, each holding worlds of wisdom and beauty. So yes, it might just be a decorated stick, but it has an important, holy job to do. • In the ark, • there’s a book • Pull the curtain • Take a look • It’s a guide • For how to be • The story of • Our family • Chorus: • So take your yad • In your yad • Let it roll • Across the scroll • Let every letter • Help you be better • and give the Torah a hand • We can give the Torah a hand • Take it out • Look within • At the parchment • Made of skin • At the words • We love so much • We need to read • But we can’t touch • Chorus • Every word • Inked with care • By the hands • Of the Sofer • Words that challenge • Words that heal • We can’t touch • But we can feel • Chorus
