Deep in Prayer
O'er Jerusalem's hills the sun sinks
lower, lower
'til 'tis but a memory
Horizons dim 'til
the promise of today
is extinguished
by darkness' sway
Stars appear: twinkle, glisten
forming constellations
Israel deep in prayer
alone among the nations
Freitig nacht gekummen Yiddish for 'Friday night has come'
wrapped in mystery
A people of haunting emotions
preserving its history
