Selah, She Does It All

SONG FOR MARCIA
to the tune of Davey Crocket

Born in a hospital in maybe Queens
The heart of Brooklyn was her family's dreams
She lived in a building with kith and kin
Where ever she went she was welcomed in

                 Marcia Rebbe Marcia -- Selah, she does it all

When she went to shul there was a mehitzah
But the women were terrific so it didn't faze her
She learned to pray by ear and by heart
While she was creating lots of visual art

           Marcia Rebbe Marcia -- Selah, she does it all

She listened to Bob Marley when she got up each school day
It helped her structure learning in a seminary way
For years Marcia sat on Zalman's window seat
As people gathered there, the Shabbos Bride to greet

Marcia teaches Master class; she leads DLTT
When she explains the parsha our hearts all rise up high
The beatitudes, she's shown us, from Jewish text derived
We're glad our age old wisdom has lasted and survived

As Dean of Ordination she helps new Rabbis grow
She davvens, writes, and teaches; she creates a holy glow
The last to leave on Shabbos, she straightens up and cleans
We're blessed she is our Rabbi, and the lifter of our dreams

  Marcia Rebbe Marcia -- Selah, she does it all
