Songs and Cheers

Up You Men (Official pep song of the AZA)

<Chorus>
Up, you men, and sing to AZA,
Time will pass, and we'll be on our way,
As the years go by there will be,
Happiest of memories, ra ra ra
Stand, and then, we'll sing this song again,
All you loyal Men,
Sing the praises of our order,
Sing Up You Men of AZA
Up You Men of AZA

Brothers we'll be as we share our cares each day,
Happy and free though the years go on their way,
Starting anew, face to face with destiny,
Hearts beating true for our friends and loves to be
So,

<Chorus>

For Tomorrow and Today

For tomorrow and today,

We believe in the AZA,

With voices loud we'll say we're proud

Of the A Z, Aleph Zadik Aleph

We all know that Jewish life, {Jewish life!}

Has had its share of trouble and strife, (And Strife!}

So we'll never cease

To work for peace

In the A Z, Aleph Zadik Aleph

Brotherly Love, and Charity,

We cherish and promote {Promote}

Harmony and Democracy,

To these our lives devote, {Devote!}

Bnai Brith will never stray, {Never Stray!}

Jewish youth is on its way! {On its way!}

And it all began

With the Beber Plan

For the A Z, Aleph Zadik Aleph.

STAND TOGETHER

We are brother in the order called the AZA

So listen everybody to what we say

The aleph zadik aleph is going strong today, so

STAND TOGETHER (2X)

In omaha nebraska, it all began

14 jewish boys with a master plan

They asked sam beber to lend a hand, so

STAND TOGETHER(2X)

Men of AZA thats who we are

The seven cardinal principles have brought us far

Come join together in our song

The aleph zadik aleph will always be strong

So take a look aroung and look inside

We know our destiny can't be denied

Forever with our brothers side by side we'll

STAND TOGETHER(2X)

Five Folds of AZA

Social - The most common type of event, it provides an opportunity for members to meet and have fun with other members, and sometimes even with people outside the organization. Social events are often held in conjunction with BBG chapters. Examples include dances and brotherhood sleepovers.

Athletic - Any event that involves participation (including as a spectator) in an athletic event or any type of physical activity. Examples include playing in a flag football game, or attending a minor league baseball game.

Community Service/Social Action - This fold has become increasingly important in recent years, as teens become more interested in giving back to the community. Examples include helping out at a local food bank, and participating in Race For The Cure.

Education - Programs in this fold run the gamut from silly to serious, and can be anything where people learn something. Examples include hunger awareness and learning about the history of AZA.

Judaic - As a Jewish organization, this fold is often incorporated in many forms. Examples include coming together to celebrate Jewish holidays and learning about current events in Israel.

Seven Cardinal Principles

Patriotism: Loyalty to my homeland, to its laws, to its principles, to its ethics. To die for it if need be, but primarily to live for it.

Judaism: Always to observe the tenets of my faith; ever to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with the Lord my God.

Filial love: Ever to honor and love my parents. To be considerate of my elders and to respect age.

Charity: To give of myself and my substance for all worthy causes; to be kind and generous to all in need, regardless of race or color.

Conduct: Never too bold, never too forward, ever humble, ever observing the principles of gentlemen.

Purity: To keep my soul pure, my mind active, and my body healthy.

Fraternity: A spirit of sociability, of cooperation, and of friendship toward all AZA's that shall make of us one fellowship; a love of and a loyalty to AZA and its ideals.
