Hebrew Textbook Lyrics by Jewlia Eisenberg

(Asja)

One time, Benjamin was carrying a Hebrew textbook. He said his friend Scholem was trying to talk him into moving to Palestine, where he would have a steady job. So with that in mind, he was trying to learn Hebrew.

I was speechless! And then I yelled at him:
"The way of any right thinking, progressive person leads to Moscow, not Palestine!"

I feel confident saying that because of me, Benjamin did not move to Palestine.
