Israel Independence Day 5779 Poem by Shalom Freedman

I we are a small part
Of what is so much greater than ourselves
A people a history a faith a land a story
Many many stories
Many many people
Who gave in so many ways-

We are here now
And there will be generations after us
The story goes on
And will go on without us
It is greater than us
As the people is

Thank God for the people for the story for the life
We have and others will have
And we pray
Willcontinue long after us.
