Benny Friedman - Stand Up For Our Morahs (with Torah Umesorah)

This is a gorgeous production dedicated in honor of our Morahs, who leave a lasting impression on mothers and daughters forever. Thank you to Torah Umesorah for giving our Morahs the power to last!
Produced by: Doni Gross
Composed by: Yitzy Waldner
Written by: Miriam Israeli
Look in a classroom and there you will see
A Morah in front, vibrant and passionate
Teaching our daughters
What Yiddishkeit means
The values we hope to transmit
With songs and with stories
The words come alive
Shabbos and Yom Tov
Tefillah and Parsha
She's lighting up Neshamos
Instilling the pride
That our girls can all feel inside
CHORUS: Let's stand up for the Morah
Who faces the task
Who remains with our girls
When they're grown
She's giving our nation the power to last
For each child is a world of her own
Let's stand up for the Morah
Who gives heart and soul
Every day that she's playing her part
For each mother and daughter in Klal Yisroel
Has a Morah engraved in her heart
She may not have letters that follow her name
Yet she's mastered the art of connection
The times may have changed
But her mission's the same
To bring out all the good from within
At the end of the year
At the end of the day
She takes them along
Thinks of and prays for them
Years down the line
You'll still hear Morah say
That's my student, oh what a gem
CHORUS: Let's stand up for the Morah
Who faces the task
Who remains with our girls
When they're grown
She's giving our nation the power to last
For each child is a world of her own
Let's stand up for the Morah
Who gives heart and soul
Every day that she's playing her part
For each mother and daughter in Klal Yisroel
Has a Morah engraved in her heart
(Interlude)
Let's stand up for our Morahs
Who take on the task
Who remain with our girls
When they're grown
They're giving our nation the power to last
For each child is a world of her own
So let's stand up for the Morahs
Who give heart and soul
Every day that they're playing her part
Every mother and daughter in Klal Yisroel
Has a Morah engraved in her heart

[@dafyddhumphreys8921]

My wife's mother's mother was a forced conversion from Judaism to islam. While it doesn't make my daughter Jewish, as much as she wants to be, we teach her the history etc, and she feels a link. Even me a Christian feels a link. Great videos keep them coming.

[@malcalewensohn3008]

It does make her Jewish. Her mom is jewish because her mother was, because her mother was too even though she "converted". Anyone born to a Jewish mother is Jewish

Mira dentro de un salon de clases y veras Una Morah al frente, vibrante y apasionada Enseñando a nuestras hijas Lo que Yiddishkeit (las cualidades de ser Judios) significa Los valores que esperamos transmitir Con canciones e historias Las palabras toman vida Shabbos y Yom Tov Teffilah y Parsha Ella hace brillar sus Neshamos (almas) Inculcando el orgullo Que nuestras niñas pueden sentir dentro Pongamonos de pie por nuestras Morahs Que enfrentan la tarea De permanecer con nuestras niñas Cuando ya han crecido Ella esta dandole a nuestra nacion el poder de permanecer Ya que cada niña es un mundo para ella Pongamonos de pie por nuestas Morahs Que dan el corazon y el alma Cada dia que hacen su parte Por cada madre e hija en Klal Yisroel Tiene una Morah en su corazon Puede que no tenga letras que le procedan a su nombre Sin embargo a masterizado el arte de la conexion Los tiempos puede que hayan cambiado Pero su mision es la misma De sacar el bien de cada quien Al final del año Al final del dia Ella las lleva con ella Piensa y reza por ellas Pasaran los años Y aun escucharas a la Morah decir Ella es mi estudiante, que joya Pongamonos de pie por nuestras Morahs Que enfrentan la tarea De permanecer con nuestras niñas Cuando ya han crecido Ella esta dandole a nuestra nacion el poder de permanecer Ya que cada niña es un mundo para ella Pongamonos de pie por nuestas Morahs Que dan el corazon y el alma Cada dia que hacen su parte Por cada madre e hija en Klal Yisroel Tiene una Morah en su corazon

When they wanted to make an orthodox newspaper Rav Chaim Brisk was opposed…So the chofetz Chaim asked him why?…He explained that he won’t have time to write in newspaper…the chofetz Chaim won’t have time to write in newspaper either…so at end of day reg ppl will write there…N that will seem to establish the norm of the orthodox community…that is an issue(if u already show body of teacher might as well show her face instead)

Beautiful song indeed. I wonder what message however is being sent to all our daughters out there when not one face of a Morah is shown in the video, or that all the girls in the video are under Bas Mitzvah?

[@shoshanaeri8035]

I saw at least one Morah, and there were definitely girls over Bas Mitzva (in the scenes where larger groups of girls stand up for the Morahs) but anyway, as Jews we are not about the outsides, we are about the insides.

Why can't you see the Morah? You are giving a very mixed message . You can't be what you can't see. The girls are seeing all sorts of immodest advertising ....you are denying them a tnius role model . It's bizarre .

[@shmulid]

Stop trolling

[@sharingchabadinspiration]

Read other comments who discussed this topic.

[@surikatz123]

The girls see their Morahs at school. They don't usually watch you tube. Are you really so concerned about not seeing them in this video? Are you simply trying to find fault with the observant Jewish community? If so, let this be our biggest flaw.

[@elanahalpern2556]

Because there are more to women than what you “see”. Women are not bodies and the girls that see the immodest or those on display know exactly why these pure women are not. These women are tremendous role models, and you don’t need to be “seen” to be one

Crazy thought, but have you considered actually showing the faces of these amazing Morahs? Or are Bnos Yisroel being educated by animated scarecrows in sheitels?

[@rivkaaaa]

I believe that it was an artistic choice, made this way so that one can insert any Morah into the video.

[@gingitkchula]

Where are the Morahs in this video? I only see hands. I was really happy to see that you actually show girls, but not women? Come on...

[@sharingchabadinspiration]

The morahs from this particular school didn't want to be filmed. What you see from them is what they agreed with.

[@rbrbrb8754]

This song is praising the teachers in all the Jewish girls' schools, not just at this school. So to show any particular teacher at this particular school would detract from the overall impact.

[@user-xj5en9oy4y]

I simply cannot believe that you chose not to include any footage of the Morot themselves- so disrespectful.

[@sharingchabadinspiration]

Some morot dont want to be in the internet. Itll be disrespectful to film them without their consent. It looks like they only filmed in one school and that school the morot didnt want it. You see them a little because that's what they agree with.

[@sharingchabadinspiration]

[@debbyyeger270]

Just curious. Benny seems to focus on only school. Why? There are so many out there. A variety would have been fairer and more positive. I am not going to share this. There are too many girls out there who attend other yeshivas and they would be hurt and their parents would be offended. Truly sad that Benny didn't think about those who do not attend this specific school 👎👎👎 😠😠😠 🚫🚫🚫

[@jallobpz7444]

Clearly this song was commissioned by this specific school....

[@jamesclarity1077]

Wut?? R u alright

[@rbrbrb8754]

Why didn't he travel around the world filming at every Jewish girls' school there is? This song is not only about the teachers at this specific school, it's representative of all the Morahs at all the schools. From a practical standpoint, it's probably a lot easier and more cost effective to set up the recording paraphernalia at one school and get the video done in one place than to travel all over Brooklyn (or the world) doing it over and over again; to schedule filming at all the girls' schools would be overwhelming and then the editing would be a lot more complicated, too.
