One Lone Tree

Please plant for me
Just one lone tree
,A tree of love
A tree of life
A tree to comfort all the land.
Please plant this tree-
This tree for me
In the land I love so well
In the land of Is-ra-el.

By DR. MAURICE CROLL

(4- shade and cover
From the windblown sands
That blow so constantly
Across the promised land.

That love may find a pathway
To the weary land below
Direct from heaven above.

Let love now flow without restraint
Into these roots to'multiply
Tenfold and then tenfold again
To reach the spreading branches of the trees
And sprout anew with seedlings bright.

Now let these two loves
From Heaven and earth
Unite in symbiotic stance, reinforced
To scatter across the lands.

Sink deep its roots
Into the anguished land
To burrow far and wide
To mine the countryside for love
The love so deeply grained
Retained more than 3,000 years
To bloom again in welcome soil.

Then call the friendly winds
To scatter love across the lands
So that each barren sandy loam
Will wax abundant and
Give forth to growing things
With each and every harvest time.

Now bless this tree and
Let it be fruitful, multiplied
To fill up the entire land
Until each path and highway
Hath now its protective lair

Let now new trees be born
To multiply tenfold again
And stand so stately all the day
Tall sentinels that hold their heads
Far tall into the sky above

I was very fortunate to be named afte
him.

A good teacher has three
rules of teaching: He talks
realistically, he convinces
students that he is

genuinely interested in
them and he makes it clear
that he'll break their necks
if they don't work.

Moses, our Rabbi
(teacher or leader)

Then will I know for sure
That even in the land of Moab
Somewhere in the Nebo's mountain
Above a lonely unmarked grave

That here lies shade,
Shades of love
Above his grave
From this one lone tree
O'er this unknown grave
Of him we loved so well
The greatest leader of our race
Moshe-Rab-Ey-Nu

Now let these trees
Stand in lines together
To guard the pathways of the land
Or in a native hora style
Arm in arm entwined
And chant in unison
This is the promised land of love
Love for all mankind.
