Unetanah Tokef 2024

 
Where else,
 
But in the heart
 
Of the Still Small Voice,
 
Can I meet
 
With those with whom
 
I disagree?
 
 
Where else,
 
But in the silence
 
Of all that is potential,
 
Can I rest my hope?
 
 
Where else,
 
But in the quiet
 
Of the argument of voices,
 
Can the truth be heard?
 
 
Where else,
 
But in the stillness
 
Of the litany
 
Of opposites,
 
Can I rest?
 
 
Where else,
 
But in the trauma
 
And the tragedy
 
Of my targeted ancestors
 
And contemporaries,
 
Can I find the reassurance
 
That the Jewish people will survive?
 
 
Where else,
 
But in the love,
 
The shalom
 
That is HaShem,
 
Can I find my comfort?
 
 
Where else
 
Can I stand
 
With my people
 
And dream of a future
 
When we all will be united?
 
 
What else,
 
But the silence of The Voice,
 
Can speak to me
 
In order that I may
 
Hear?
