he FEAST
of the
LAW
(From the liturgy for Simchat Torah)
This Feast of the Law all your gladness display,
Today all your homages render,
What profit can lead so pleasant a way,
What jewels can vie with its splendor?
Then exalt in the Law on its festival day,
The Law is our Light and Defender.

My God I ivill praise in a jubilant lay,
My hope in Him never surrender,
His glory proclaim where His chosen sons pray,
My Rock all my trust shall engender.
Then exalt in the Law on its festival day,
The Law is our Light and Defender.
My heart of Thy goodness shall carol away,
Thy praises I ever will render,
While breath is, my lips all Thy wonders shall say,
Thy truth and Thy kindness so tender,
Then exalt in the Law on its festival day,
The Law is our Light and Defender.
‘This beautiful poem was written in Babylonia, in the early Middle
Ages, poet unknown. The translation from the Hebrew was done by
Israel Zangwill, England (1864-1926). Zangwill distinguished himself
as a novelist, poet, playwright and critic. Later, he became strongly
identified with Jewish causes and with Jewish literary themes which
earned for him a wide renown among Gentiles as well as Jews. His
reputation as champion of Jewish interests was worldwide.
