Story Behind the Song
The niggun came to me while flying back from a wonderful songleaders retreat, Hava Nashira, in 1999
Lyrics
Mar-beh to-rah, mar-beh cha-yim;
Mar-beh y’shi-vah, mar-beh choch-mah;
Mar-beh ei-tzah, mar-beh t’vu-nah;
Mar-beh tz’da-kah, mar-beh sha-lom.
(Pirke Avot, 2.8, Hillel - The more Torah, the more life; the more schooling, the more wisdom; the more counsel, the more understanding; the more charity, the more peace.)
