Tzadik Katamar
(The righteous shall be like the date palm)

Introduction:

Tzadik Katamar is from Psalm 92, and is read during the Shabbat service. Try to come up with hand and body motions to help the children learn the meaning of the words. (This melody has an accompanying folk dance.)

Lyrics:

Verse 1 Tzadik katamar yifrach, yifrach. Tzadik katamar yifrach. (Repeat Verse 1)		The righteous shall flourish like the date palm,
Verse 2 K’erez bal’vanon yisgeh, K’erez bal’vanon yisgeh, K’erez bal’vanon yisgeh, yisgeh. (Repeat Verse 2)		Like the cedars of Lebanon grow mighty.
