Roots of Eretz Yisrael

Eretz Yisrael*,

your roots are planted

deep within me.

Enemies try to wrest you

from me

and to destroy us,

you and me together,

off the earth

but they can’t.

Eretz Yisrael,

My roots are planted

deep within you

Evil ones try to distance me

from you,

to annihilate us,

me and you together,

from this world,

but they can’t.

Eretz Yisrael,

HaShem* is watching over you

even as He set my origins

and my destiny here

We will never part,

me from the Land of my Fathers

nor this Promised Land

from me.

We can’t.

*Eretz Yisrael—The Land of Israel

*HaShem—name of God, implying kindness

I love the handcrafted jewelry designs. I wish I could read Hebrew and may start studying…. This poem is lovely. Thank you for sharing your talents with those of us who love the Holy Land of the God of Israel.

Feel sad that Jews for no fault of theirs had to go through pain, suffering and even death from the past until now. October 7 was the worst
