“We are all mourners now / Needing, wanting, giving comfort / For ourselves…” For each other.”

“We are in mourning; / our people are in mourning; / collectively we are sitting shiva.”

“Tzur Yisrael, Rock of Israel, May our devotion remain steadfast”

“Oh this heartbreak,  Silence howling.  Oh this heart ache,  Terror prowling…” 

“we must turn from death and war / and learn again the message of hope and love and peace.”

“She fights for her life, while I panic in my room, / thousands of miles away, in plain clothes…”

“I am afraid to wear a kippah, to put on my Star of David, / or to even look or seem a little Jewish…”

“We are living / as if in an experiment…”

“Who will bathe heated heads with cool clarity?”

“We ask that that you inspire humans to remember our fellow creatures in this time of war, to mitigate the damage that we cause them and to bring us all to a time of peace.”
