By Hannah Senesh
Eli, Eli, she loh yigamer leolam
Hachol vehayam,
Rishroosh shel hamayim
Berack hashamayim
T'filat ha'adam
My Lord, my God
I pray that these things never end
The sand and the sea,
The rush of the water
The sky’s glitter
The prayer of man.
Hannah Senesh died after emigrating from Hungary to Palestine and participating in the resistance effort during the Holocaust.
