What Makes a House a Home?

Home is where the heart belongs

A place you can do no wrongs.

It's not about bricks and stones,

So what makes a house a home?

A home is created with love and care,

A home is where you have no fears.

The place is yours, and you dwell there

Wherever you are, it’s your HOME that you hold dear

Our purpose is to make a Dirah Betachtonim

Bring G-d down here and make a home for him.

How do we make Hashem comfortable here?

Showing Him - that to us his Torah is dear.

I want to create a home, you see

A place where I can truly be,

And by using Torah and Mitzvos as my guide,

I will be inviting G-dliness inside.
