"I do shnayim mikra without the targum": The Aveirah Song in the Sources
Click the hyperlinks to access a source related to the "aveirah" (traditional word for "transgression"). It will open as an additional window in the side/resource panel, keeping the original sheet (this one) on the left side.
A few notes on this sheet and how to use it:
  • The song is a parody by the yeshiva students of Yeshivat Lev Aryeh in 2013 (Binyomin Miller / Dr. Dreizich). It a parody (Purim Spiel) and is meant to be funny, not judgmental of those who live their lives in one way or another. I created this sheet as a fun, educational tool.
  • You'll notice that some of the sources have complete underlines, e.g. "I put on my left shoe before my right," whereas some are broken up, e.g. "I eat a gid hanasheheverybite." When the underlines are complete, it is a single hyperlink to one source. When they are broken up, there are multiple links to click. For example, for"I eat a gid hanasheheverybite," there are three different links and sources. For "I put on my left shoe before my right" there is one link and source.
  • Most of the sources the links lead to have an English translation on Sefaria, but not all of them do. If you need a translation of these sources, suggest I link to additional sources, or have a request, please send me a message through my Sefaria profile. I'd love to hear from you!
  • The sheet and the hyperlinks work best on a desktop/laptop. On a mobile device browser, clicking the hyperlink will replace the panel and you can go back to get to the original sheet. If you are on the app, it the links will not work properly right now.
Song Lyrics:
Every song needs an introduction... because...
CHORUS
A song without an introduction,
Is like chicken soup without no lukshen,
My producer just looked at me and nodded,
I think he wants me to get started.
Testing, testing, aintz tzvai, drai
CHORUS
I spoke to my goyishe friend named Boris,
He wrote me up this little chorus,
It breaks up the song so it doesn't get boring,
And now we'll continue with the recording.
STANZA
I go to shul and I'm just chillin,
I only put on one pair of tefillin,
I never cry when I go to levayos,
I eat the matzah, less than a kezayis,
I don't even care about chulev stam,
I don't even like be'er mayim chayim,
I go to the games with Derek Jeter,
I always get married during sefira,
I do aveiros, oidve'oid,
I never go on trips on chol hamo'ed,
I never daven tefillah be'tzibur,
I listen to the tapes, from Justin Bieber.
CHORUS
I cruise around in my '05 Taurus,
Blasting out the second chorus,
I feel like I'm rocking up the whole joint,
And now we're at the halfway point.
STANZA
I'm such a goy, vus hut du getracht,
I learn the gantzeh nittel nacht,
Chassidim and rebbes are not my types,
I wear the tzitzis without the stripes,
I always say lashon hara,
All my friends do avodah zara,
I'm such a tzioni, I sing Hatikva,
I don't even pay when I use the mikva,
I changed my name to Sam, from Shmuel,
I don't even like Eretz Yisrooel,
I don't ask for a shidduch when I go to Amukah,
I give more than a choimesh to tzedukeh,
I use the Internetfor thenews,
I do birkas kohanim with my shoes.
CHORUS
Don't turn it down, don't ignore us,
Listen up to the final chorus,
I haven't yet showed you all my cards,
Mir halt shoin by the line fun twenty yards.
CHORUS
Too much of your time I'm alreadyspending,
So now I'm gonna take you to the ending,
I hope you like and I hope you enjoy,
This song about a yid who thinks he's a goy.
