An Alternate Hashkiveynu Rabbi Maralee Gordon
You cause us to wake up in the middle of the night casting off the shelter of peace You spread over us To consider world pieces Shattered by enemies , prejudice , agony , lies and greed To acknowledge “ the evil forces that surround us ” is not a nightmare from which we will awaken That the shadow of Your wings is not a shelter .
Grace and mercy , love and compassion , life and peace Grace and mercy , love and compassion , life and peace
May this mantra return sleep to our eyelids
