Release, Return
מִמַּעֲמַקִּים קְרָאתִיךָ יי (mima’amakim k’raticha adonai)
From the depths, from the depths of our souls, Adonai, we call to You:
we pray for healing the minds and hearts of those newly released from sadistic confinement.
we pray for repair of their trust in the good of which humanity is capable.
we pray for easing their fear when a door is closed, when a room goes dark, when sounds are too loud, when a loved one’s voice cannot be heard, when a hug is a but dream, when the sky cannot be seen…
we pray for their fortitude to not be overwhelmed by memories and by the certain continued suffering of those still confined.
we pray for recognition of the cynical malicious physical and psychological warfare perpetrated against our people, against all Israelis, all Jews, all humans with a conscience.
we pray for opening the aggressors’ minds and hearts, something we cannot do alone.
