The Last Dance

Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur
  Day of Judgment, Day of Atonement
    
Weeping openly in synagogue
  Praying for our very lives
As if our hair were on fire...

Sukkoth, Festival of Tabernacles
  Celebrating the Harvest
The Spiritual and Agricultural
  Offerings brought for each
    Nation of the World

One festival left now
  No more weeping
    Only one offering
To Him, the King of Kings
  Celebrating Him and
  the Torah He gave us
  Dancing with pure Joy
    on Simchas Torah
        Hallelujah!
