On February 29, 2020, I sat down to lunch with several people who have now unfortunately tested positive for COVID-19. Because of this, I have been quarantined for over two weeks, so I wrote a song about it. For those who have gotten sick with the virus, I wish a refuah shleimah (a full and speedy recovery). New videos every Wednesday at 7:30 PM ET.  (Glossary and lyrics below)

CHAG PURIM SAMEACH!!!

Jewish words:

Torah - The most holy book in the Jewish tradition. It is a common custom to kiss it as it passes by your seat in synagogue.

Mezuza - A small box that contains four traditional Jewish paragraphs inside of it. Many Jews have the custom to hang it in their doorways, and kiss it as we go in or out of the doorway.

Siddurim - The Jewish prayer book. Many Jews have the custom to kiss it when they close it, or accidentally drop it on the floor.

Hora - A traditional Jewish dance, where everyone holds hands.

Purim- A traditional Jewish holiday (coming up this week), commemorating the defeat of the evil Haman, who planed to destroy the Jews. On this holiday many Jews dress in costume.

Megillah - The traditional scroll read on Purim that tells the story of the holiday.

Purim Carnival - One of the most common synagogue fundraisers.

Shaloch Manas - Small gifts consisting primarily of food, that Jews give to each other on Purim.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

Staying in my apartment 24 hours a day.
Can’t go outside when I want to play
It’s just a safety precaution
I’m completely okay
I wanna say
Hey
What am I gonna do today
Can’t hang out with friends
Play sports in the park
Go to a museum
Or a movie
Or even ride in a car
I’m just stuck at home
Not free to roam
In one place like a garden gnome
‘Cause I’m

Chorus:

Quarantined
The most boring thing you’ll ever see
I’m Quarantined
And the only thing stoppin’ me from leavin’
Is that quarantine
That COVID-19 has got to me
I’m Quarantined

Verse 2:

Stop kissing the Torah
Mezuzot and Siddurim
Stop dancing the hora
And don’t get me started on Purim
Megillah on live stream
Purim Carnival cancelled
Don’t give shalach manos
We all can’t handle
The crazy stress of not leaving the house
You think you’re missing school, but remote learning comes out
It a recipe to go stir-crazy
When all you can do is rest and be lazy
When you’re

Chorus:

Quarantined
The most boring thing you’ll ever see
I’m Quarantined
And the only thing stopin’ me from leavin’
Is that Quarantine
That COVID-19 has got to me
I’m Quarantined

Fiddle solo

Bridge:

As the coronavirus spreads
I’ll be lying in my bed
Thousands of people like me
Anticipating freedom
And when the time comes
I’ll have completed my sentence
Cause I’ll no longer be in

Chorus (key change):

Quarantine
I’m out of the sad and jumping with glee
I’m not Quarantined
And nothing's stoppin’’ me from leavin’
No more Quarantine
That COVID-19 can’t spread from me
I’m no longer Quarantined
No more Quarantine

COVID-19 Quarantine
