“We remember the sadness of death Yet we are blessed with life to hold the memory…”

“Help us navigate the rocky shores that beckon us to shipwreck our lives in grief forever.”

“Open Your souls and soak in the sound…” This original song is inspired by Psalm 22 (4:40)

“Only when you stand alone will you know who you truly are…”

“We will weep through as many nights as we must…”

“I will teach you the melody of my Echa, together we will sit on the ground and mourn for the peace of Jerusalem.”

“Did they praise / the G-d that brought about their / most brutal response to devastation? / Or did they lament?”

“For every grain of salt, a thousand tears…”

“There are ashes sunken within us / in places that feel too deep to touch…”

A poem about the contradictions in the month of Av.
