I growled and I roared and my rabbi did as well Then my teeth turned into fangs and my nails into clawsĪnd I nearly dropped the Torah when my hands turned into paws Tracy : I got up in front of everyone to give my little speech Tracy: The next day what happened, the Talmud didn’t teach The classic refrain that will be stuck in your head forever. Just kidding, there’s the rest of the song…. So now we know the Haftarah of “Werewolf Bar Mitzvah.” Mic drop.
#SONG BAR BAR TRACY FULL#
This Haftarah is the story of olive oil, a Shunammite woman, and the prophet Elisha.Įlisha ends up reviving the woman’s son on a day that was “neither new moon nor sabbath.” Spooky coincidence? The Haftarah portion was the opposite of the Sabbath full moon that young Tracy was to be bar mitzvahed. The Torah portion that Saturday was Parshat Vayera (Genesis 18:1 – 22:24), so the Haftarah was II Kings 4:1 – 4:37. Oct 21, 1983, the night the werewolf with glowing gold eyes came across young Tracy, was the 14th of Cheshvan 5744 (thank you, HebCal). Again: spooky, scary.) Which means we can tell you what must’ve been the Haftarah portion… (Oh yes, we’re doing this.) (Note: another full moon was Oct 17, 1986, but we’re going with the date closer to Halloween. Therefore… the night described in the song must’ve been Oct 21, 1983, full moon and a Friday. Another reason why this song is in October: The episode itself aired in October. The song is only specified to have premiered in the 1980s, and we’re assuming this song is in October (spooky, scary). The werewolf tells him tomorrow he will be called to the bimah to become a man which means the night in question is a Friday. (He probably already finished the Friday night service.) He is studying his Haftarah, when suddenly, a werewolf knocks on his door. Let’s unpack this first verse: Tracy is embodying a young boy who is preparing diligently for his bar mitzvah the night before. Tomorrow you will stand at the bimah and prayīut tonight let’s gaze at the moon and bay
He says, tomorrow my son you will be a manīut tonight’s the time to join the wolfen clan There was a werewolf standing there with glowing gold eyes
When I heard a knock on my bedroom-doorah
