It's supposed to be a Chassidish school so I'd expect Yiddish. Obviously English speaking schools would be in English.

I'm not sure why you assume that all chassidish schools speak only in Yiddish.

Because they do, at least officially.

This is not a school recording. It's Mrs Amsel's recording, you would have to ask her.
The school adopted it because the school is based on Middos, Warmth, Thanking Hashem, Gratitude........living, enjoying and loving Hashem and yiddishkeit

Bdy is a chassidish NEUTRAL school. It's not like satmer, square, vishnitz. It was a Yiddish play with 2 English songs . So what??!!

I heard another beautiful English school song from them . Does anyone have a link to share that song?

Yes that other song is gorgeous too. But that's the actual school song I wonder if we can get a hold of it. (My nieces are in this school).

Beautiful song!

Gratitude Song
Thank you, thank you Hashem; thank you, thank you again,
The wonders that you create, I celebrate.
Thank you, thank you Hashem; thank you, thank you again,
My heart beats a grateful song, please sing along.

What’s a day without a dance to express my praise,
What’s a day without a chance to find beauty in His ways.
What’s a day without connecting to the One above,
And tune into His messages of love.

When I treasure the small moments, each moment comes alive,
The less I take for granted, the more I tend to thrive.
I discover miracles in all that seems mundane,
I soar on a higher plane.

I’m grateful, I rejoice, it’s how I choose to live,
I’m mindful of my blessings, all You give, give, give.
Hashem I feel Your presence, I’m awake and aware,
Your love is everywhere.

Yes, I’ve got my pain, but I won’t let it destroy,
It won’t get in the way of my joy, joy, joy.
My reality depends on the way that it’s viewed,
I’m surviving on gratitude.

Na, na, na na na na
Na, na, na na na na
Oooh, ahha

Hashem I just want to grow from a joyous place,
Please lighten up my heart and grant me peaceful days.
Be conscious of your gifts and shed only grateful tears,
See goodness in all my years.

Please let this gratitude come easily to me,
Oh, shower me with kindness, so abundantly.
I shouldn’t need to search, it should strike me clear and bright,
In the moment, not just in hindsight.

I’m grateful, I rejoice, it’s how I choose to live,
I’m mindful of my blessings, all You give, give, give.
Hashem I feel Your presence, I’m awake and aware,
Your love is everywhere.

Yes, I’ve got my pain, but I won’t let it destroy,
It won’t get in the way of my joy, joy, joy.
My reality depends on the way that it’s viewed,
I’m surviving on gratitude.

I’m grateful, I rejoice, it’s how I choose to live,
I’m mindful of my blessings, all You give, give, give.
Hashem I feel Your presence, I’m awake and aware,
Your love is everywhere.

Yes, I’ve got my pain, but I won’t let it destroy,
It won’t get in the way of my joy, joy, joy.
My reality depends on the way that it’s viewed,
I’m surviving on gratitude.

Thank you!! beautiful song!

Can anyone share the other school song? I heard it once and loved it . Something like proud to be a bnois derech yisroel girl. The girls really gave a good impact the way they sang it . I then thought it must be an amazing school. I wish someone has that song and would share .
