Israel and the world long for a lasting peace — a song and reflection from Andrew Kahn.
Note: This page features a song created by Andrew Kahn. The original audio content is hosted on the Peaceful Presence website.
"Israel Longs for a Lasting Peace" is a song created by Andrew Kahn that expresses a heartfelt prayer for peace in Israel and throughout the world.
The longing for lasting peace — Shalom — is central to Jewish tradition, to the yoga tradition, and to the human heart. We pray for a day when the doves of peace can truly rest, when the lion lies down with the lamb, when children in Israel and throughout the Middle East can grow up without fear.
Jerusalem — whose very name contains the word "shalom" (peace) — is the city where three great faith traditions converge. It is a city that has known war, exile, and longing for millennia. And it is a city that represents humanity's deepest aspiration: a world where all people can live in dignity, security, and peace.
As Andrew writes in "Toward Peace": "The Promised Land is a world where love, opportunity, abundance, and kindness prevail — it helps usher in the time when all recognize that we have one common Creator."
Whether through song, prayer, meditation, or acts of kindness — each of us can contribute to the peace we long for.
