Guided by Light, Inspired by Faith

The winds of time carry far away
Yet memory remains—a bright ideal to stay
Rabbi Schneur Zalman, your wisdom so true
Burns in our hearts like fire anew
 
You preached a path so pure and bright
With gentle words, you shared the light
Torah and knowledge, faith as your crest
Each lesson a sign from heaven, blessed
 
Amidst life’s turmoil, like a pine so tall
You preserved the truth in words so small
Your voice still echoes through the years
Your soul’s bright glow—beyond all fears
 
You sowed hope and hearts inspired
Your wisdom—tender yet admired
Could such a radiant trace fade?
You live in our souls, your mark is made
 
May memory of you, like a guiding star
Lead us to truth, near and far
Rabbi Schneur Zalman, in dreams you stay
Alive in our lives like the sunlit day.
