Two Jews, Three Opinions

Two rabbis in ancient times
Hillel and Shammai often find
Their schools were at odds
But both spoke words of the livin' God!
Sages' debates drive us like rack-and-pinion
Two Jews, three opinions!

Can we eat meat? Can we frack?
Do these questions take us back
To what Creation is really worth
And stewardship of the Earth?
What does it mean that God gave us dominion?
Two Jews, three opinions!

Who is a Jew? Does it mean
Culture, faith, or a set of genes?
How does Israel add more love?
Is it just all-of-the-above?
And how does the Shoah sway your position?
Two Jews, three opinions!
Give me your opinion, Bill!

INSTRUMENTAL

Well, some towns are torn apart
On how to do service of the heart
What tune is used, how much is read
How long it lasts, what kind of spread!
Now all the shuls pray for minyans
Two Jews, three opinions!

We can disagree for Heaven's sake
But fights like Korach I just can't take!
Meet me in the middle for a better stance
'Cause that's how my mezuzah slants!
Whether a sabra or Virginian
Two Jews, three opinions! Only 3?!
