Israel to Hashem:

Hashem of mine (ours)

Hashem of our fathers

We know you are still there

Hashem of our mothers

We are confused of what you are trying to convey

Hashem of my childhood

Please don’t hide

Hashem of my father, mother, brother and sister and

All of the families of the Nation of Israel

The silence is loud

We are still suffering

We and our children our still dying

What has been made aware is not enough

Not anymore

Please in your great compassion don’t allow our suffering to continue anymore

We know you hear our prayers and are not complacent

Your children have made many grave errors

Many opportunities to fix and repair the damage that has been perpetrated on your most vulnerable children from all across the globe have fallen on deaf ears.

Have you also turned your Holy back to us Melech, with the same indifference?

Ignorance?

And intolerance?

What hope do we have without the promise of your salvation and redemption?

If you have forgotten us, then please tell me Melech

What is the purpose of all of us being here?

I know that I am not praying to a God that condones these senseless acts

Acts of violence and social injustice that continues to destroy your most vulnerable children all around the world

Please hear the cry of all of your beloved children and save us all before another life ends in tragedy

I know this is not your will but only you can soften the hearts of the earthly among us that have the power, position and resources to make a real change now.

You are their master and they still need to do your will

Please Melech Melech Haolam (King of the Universe)

Awaken those in power who have forgotten who the true Melech (King) is to do what is right for all of your beloved children

Please do this now before there is any more bloodshed and death so we can have peace again.

Amen!
