We learn we are built upon the dust of our ancestors
Born with strength engraved into our DNA
We choose to evolve, blossoming from our mistakes
Carving our own footsteps into the path of history
We learn there is no harm in being afraid
Surrounded by unjustified hatred
We choose to be courageous
Standing proud in the midst of peril
We learn to embrace our tradition
Inheriting matza and minor chords
We choose to be passionate
With everlasting, thunderous, irrational love
We learn to ask questions
Discuss the universe and all of its edges
We choose to wonder why
Though we may never know the answer
We learn to be a community
United in our differences
We choose to transform our words into actions
And have hope in a peaceful future
