And Now Israel
AND NOW ISRAEL
music & lyrics by Alan Cook and Neal Katz
Hebrew text from Deuteronomy 10:12 and Micah 6:8
VeAta Yisrael, Mah Adonai Shoel Me'Imach?
And now, Israel, what are the things
That God has required of you?
To walk in God's way
To try every day
To do what is just and is true
We must do our part, and strive in our hearts
To follow the Torah's commands
And if we believe
Then we can achieve
The answer is in our own hands
The Mitzvot which are in the Torah
Need not be a mystery to you
They are not far away
They are with you today
For you to observe and to do
I've not hidden them high, way up in the sky
They're not ‘cross a vast, endless sea
But these laws I impart
Can be close to your heart
And through them you can honor Me.ö
Asot Mishpat
VeAhavat Chesed
VeHatzne'a Lechet Im Elohecha
And now Israel, what does God ask of you?
Do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.
