Teaching Mesorah
Written by Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi
As I lay awake in bed
I can see where we will go
to a place far away
with not Sanhedrin to guide us
no one rabbi to teach us
and Mesorah can be lost
oh I say oh, I say we write it down now
but they say yes they say its all by heart now
oh I say oh, I say it can be saved
it will take some work on our part
we'll write 6 Sidarim of Mishnah
each topic its own Masechtah
in this way, we will teach the Mesorah
a book for Shabbat or Pesachim
a seder for all of Nezeekin
with 6 we will write Torah SheBa'al Peh
we will save the Torah SheBa'al Peh
Zero'im will be for seed
Mo'ed for the Chagim needs
weddings found in Seder Nash'em
damages seder Nezikin
Karbanot in Kadshim
and Taharot for purity
oh I say oh, I say we write it down now
but they say yes they say its all by heart now
oh I say oh, I say it can be saved
it will take some work on our part
we'll write 6 Sidarim of Mishnah
each topic its own Masechtah
in this way, we will teach the Mesorah
a book for Shabbat or Pesachim
a seder for all of Nezeekin
with 6 we will write Torah SheBa'al Peh
we will save the Torah SheBa'al Peh
