The River of Peace

Underneath the tumult and toil of our urban lives Flows a river of peace Every Friday night we bathe in its waters Eyes gazing upward Find solace in the ineffable The power that preserves echoes through our lives As we chant Kaddish and Adon Olam We are transported to a realm Where faith becomes knowledge Knowledge becomes joy We are but a small part of eternity But having made our decision at Sinai We released the floodwaters of the river of peace and confirm the covenant every Friday night
