I want to say something meaningful, something that will comfort the hurt that we are all feeling.
But I've got nothing. Because right now my heart is shattered in a thousand pieces. I'm one post away from deleting facebook and escaping this horrible reality. I read the חדשות that don't seem so new anymore. It's an old, old story. Of hatred and contempt and violence. Its a story I'm so tired of hearing, and so many people are tired of living and dying.
So Gd, you said עשו שונה את יקעב but you also said וזכרתי את בריתי יעקב...הארץ אזכור
You promised G-d.
I sit here with tears streaming and amidst all this fire, I believe you.
I believe you Gd when You say that I'll get to live alongside my brothers and sisters and it won't be on the wrong side of the gun.
I believe You that our land is ours, and we'll live there in harmony. Our enemies but a distant nightmare.
I want to hear a shofar, not another siren.
I sit here clutching to my last strand of hope, praying the next gust of violence won't rip it away.
I believe you Gd when you say we won't have to feel this way anymore.
I believe you Gd, so please.
Please don't let me down.

I stand with Israel, in prayer.
