Today a special guest Has come to say hello He wears a hat that’s red and white And he’s someone you might know. 3

Just who do you think This visitor could be? He likes green eggs and lox, Is it…is it ? Shall we see? 4

Yes, it’s Dr. Suess’s friend The famous “Cat in the Hat.” Right here at Touro Synagogue Can you imagine that! 5

The Cat in the Hat comes to TOURO SYNAGOGUE Rosh Hashanah 2009/5770

Welcome, welcome, welcome to all and everyone. Today is Rosh Hashanah And time for fun, fun, fun. 7

Sit back, relax, enjoy Get ready for something sweet. Celebrating this cool holiday with us is really pretty neat! 8

Pull out the apples and honey, Dip them once, twice and more. You must be sweet all day today, Don’t be a sour puss – that’s for sure! 9

In the beginning when there was nothing God created each thing with care. Fish, sky, plants, and flowers, And people with straight and curly hair. 10

After six long and tiring days God really needed a rest From making every creation, So amazing and certainly the best. 11

So each year we stop to remember The wonderful and happy day That our world was created by God. So we come Touro to sing and pray. 12

In this brand new year God’s given us Let’s care for our earth and for all. If we concentrate on being better Next year we can stand up real tall. 13

On this holiday of Rosh Hashanah We celebrate a brand new year, We commit to being even better; Let’s give ourselves a cheer. 14

Tekiah, shevarim, teruah We will hear the shofar sound Loud and clear it will fill the building And the hearts of all around. 15
