Curtain Up: אֲדָר!

"[Opening (Ensemble)] Curtain up, lights awake, We’ve got joy to generate! In אֲדָר, the world can be More than what we thought we’d see. [Verse 1 (Lead)] Affectionate evenings, adoring refrain, A loving little spark in the everyday plain. We’re thankful, we’re shining, we’re learning again— How to laugh without losing the weight of the pain. [Chorus (Full Ensemble)] This is the month of joy, come take your part! Fulfilled like a promise, warm in the heart. Serene in the chaos, calm in the crowd, We sing it soft, then we sing it loud: מִשֶּׁנִּכְנָס אֲדָר — we open the door, מַרְבִּין בְּשִׂמְחָה — we rise even more! [Verse 2 (Ensemble)] Delighted by kindness, content in the glow, Peaceful like rivers that finally flow. We’re blessed by the chorus we didn’t expect— A life that gets brighter the more we connect. [Finale (Ensemble)] Curtain call, hands held high, Joy for now and by and by!"
