Israel
We Are Hurting
At Mt. Meron in the north, where Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai is buried, tens of thousands gathered to celebrate, and in an accidental tragedy, 44 people were crushed to death, hundreds injured.
Pinch me please, I can’t believe we are here
Breakfast of champions, seriously we ate enough for a year
Tel Aviv for the day, museums and talks around town
Singing and dancing, in the room there was no frown
Today is about courage, bravery is a topic near and dear
So we started the day addressing the concept of fear
Inspirational speeches, about living the dream
Agricultural expert to the world, Israel does seem
Then time with black Jewish magic, our affections grew
She is an amazing activist, that few of us knew
It was then off to the Anu Museum for more history
We learned of infamous and famous Jews, you see
It was emotional to reflect upon our time so far
For only day two, our connection sets a high bar
Dinner at the port completed our second day
As we boarded the bus to get on the way
On our way to Jerusalem, we shared stories of HP
Because all that happens is what’s meant to be
We heard from our Israeli members and their stories of pride
And we climbed to the capital, perhaps some may have cried
