It is a Tree of Life, or Etz Chayim Hi, is the song Jews sing on Shabbat when closing the ark at the end of the Torah service.
CAMP Limmud Bay Area participants - ages 5 to 10 - gathered round the mic to sing. They shared their thoughts about trees and Torah and the song in watercolors, and we stitched this together to help you learn. Prayer karaoke! Prayer-eoke?
The Limmud Bay Area session that created this video was made possible by generous support from the Covenant Foundation.
