Israel Longs for a Lasting Peace

Created by Andrew Kahn

Israel longs for peace, a safe home for all, yet

too many voices are calling her fall.

Freedom should build, not tear apart; peace

must be rooted in truth from the start.

We have more in common than divides, but

hate and denial can’t be our guide.

Guided by love, we can make things right,

together in courage, together in light.

Rally the masses, friends from near and far;

brotherhood and goodness — that’s who we

are.

Teach mitzvot, teach kindness, show the way,

and build bridges for tomorrow, starting today.

We have more in common than divides, but

hate and denial can’t be our guide.

Guided by love, we can make things right,

together in courage, together in light.

The world is listening; our choices ring, trust in

love, trust in kindness — let all sing.

A higher light guides us, quietly within; hope

and compassion are where we begin.
