From the first Jewish settlers who built the Holy Land with faith and sacrifice to the struggle against secularization, this powerful song tells the story of a nation that refused to abandon its covenant with Hashem. Through empires, persecution, and attempts to erase Jewish tradition, the Torah remains alive and stronger than ever! LYRICS: Before Herzl, before the flag, Before the state, before the maps, There were Jews upon that sacred ground, Keeping Torah when empires fell down. From צְפַת to ירושלים, From חברון to טבריה, Generations never left, And others came with faith and prayer. The חסידים came, תַּלְמִידֵי הַגְּרָ״א too, From Yemen came families with a mission to pursue. With Torah in their hearts and the land beneath their feet, They planted, built and struggled through the dust and burning heat. They built thirty-five cities, including פֶּתַח תִּקְוָה, Rosh Pina, fields of stone and sand, רִאשׁוֹן לְצִיּוֹן, generations working on the land. Before political Zionism claimed a nation's birth, Religious Jews were building lives upon that sacred earth. They weren't chasing power, they weren't chasing fame, They came to serve השם, to honour His holy name. Thousands of years, the promise still remained, Through exile and destruction, their faith was never chained! THEY TRIED TO BURY TORAH! BUT TORAH WILL NEVER DIE! Through the flames of every empire, Our faith still reaches to the sky! The Greeks are gone! The Romans fell! Our people lived through Europe's hell! And when they tried to break our soul, THE TORAH KEPT OUR PEOPLE WHOLE! Then came a movement with a different dream, A nation without Torah, a new secular scheme. Red flags, socialist visions, a culture to remake, The ancient chains of מָסוֹרָה they wanted us to break. They said, "Your old traditions belong to yesterday, You're living in your homeland, put those rules away!" But שבת wasn't born in exile, nor were laws from סיני, Our covenant with השם isn't something you can deny! They built their institutions, their classrooms and their laws, While religious parents struggled for their children's cause. The Yemenite פֵּאוֹת, the pressure and the shame, A generation's sacred heritage caught within the flame. A mother came from Morocco, with her children by her side, Her family kept the מצוות through generations who had died. A father came from Yemen, with a little boy in hand, He dreamed of raising Torah children in the promised land. But when their children entered schools that pushed their faith aside, How many ancient family traditions slowly died? THEY TRIED TO BURY TORAH! BUT TORAH WILL NEVER DIE! You can change a nation's culture, But you cannot erase סיני! The Greeks are gone! The Romans fell! Our people lived through Europe's hell! Secular Zoinist with their brainwashing!! You can fight the Jewish spirit, BUT YOU CANNOT BREAK OUR SOUL! They thought the future would forget the ancient ways, That שבת would disappear beneath the modern days. That ישיבות would empty, that the old world would be gone, But eighty years have passed, and still the Torah carries on! Look at the children, look at the schools, Look at the families still living by השם's rules! The בתי מדרש are growing, the numbers multiplying, And the dream that Torah would vanish? That dream is slowly dying! Fourteen percent and rising, a generation young, The words of Torah echo from a million tongues. A majority tomorrow, the future's looking clear, The communities of Torah grow stronger every year! But our victory isn't hatred. Our victory isn't revenge. It's another Jewish child learning מִשְׁנָה. Another father learning גְּמָרָא. Another mother lighting candles for שבת. It's a Jew who never knew his heritage, Finally finding his way home. You cannot kill a covenant, you cannot bury truth, You cannot steal the promise from the hearts of Jewish youth. No government created us, no politics defined, The Torah was our foundation long before their flags were designed! So bring our brothers closer, teach them what they never knew, The light of Torah belongs to every single Jew. Not every child who wandered chose the road that led away, So open up the doors and show them how to find their way! THEY TRIED TO BURY TORAH! BUT TORAH WILL NEVER DIE! Three thousand years of history, And still we testify! The Greeks are gone! The Romans fell! Our people lived through Europe's hell! Secular Zoinist with their brainwashing!! Secularisation could not destroy The ancient faith of every Jewish girl and boy! THEY TRIED TO BURY TORAH! BUT LOOK AT US TODAY! The children of our fathers Are still learning השם's way! Empires fade. Governments fall. Ideologies disappear. But our children still learn the words Their fathers learned before them. כי לא תשכח מפי זרעו עם ישראל חי. תורת ישראל חיה וקיימת. Israel belongs only to the Torah learners and followers! And we are winning day by day!! Torah will never die. #teshuvaMusic #jewishmusic #beezrathashem #rabbiyaronreuven
