Thank you for writing this prayer. And thanks for your insight about the Midrash of the angels. I have thought about the distinction between those directly affected and those from a distance, but I had not quite applied that story to our current moment so thank you for that.
At my congregation, I also say a prayer and have been all along saying a prayer for the hostages, then our kin in Israel and those serving their country, and then all the innocent people affected, and a prayer for peace, hope, and better days ahead. Last week (when we also had Jewish and Palestinian guest speakers who work for Lissan), I wrote a new version, a little stronger. Ironically, use some of the language from the Reform movement from the recent cease-fire.
Thank you for commenting, I am glad to line up with your practice. we are all struggling to find words for crying out to God...
As I wrote, this specific insight about what we could learn from the angels came from my spouse, Rabbi Claudia Kreiman, but I am glad to be the channel to pass it on.
Amen
🙏🏻
