Hebrew – אחד מי יודע
מה אספרה, מה אדברה, אױסכאַ! אױסכאַ! יאַ דאַ דאַ … װער קען זאָגן, װער קען רעדן, װאָס די ____ באַטײַט?
אײנער איז גאָט, און גאָט איז אײנער, און װײַטע קײַנער
צװײ זענען די לוחות
דרײַ זענען די אבֿות
פיר זענען די אימהות
פינף זענען די חמושים
זעקסט זענען די משניות
זיבן זענען די װאָכנטעג
אַכט טעג איז דער ברית
נײַן חודשים טראָגט מען
צען זענען די געבאָט
עלף זענען די שטערן
צװעלף זענען די שבֿוטים
דרײַצן איז מען בר מצווה
