Supplement to Avinu Malkeinu Naomi Wittlin
א ל ו ה י נ ו ש ו מ ר נ ו Our God , our Protector , Out of the depths we call to you . 2
א ו ז נ נ ו You are our ear and our heart , hearing our prayers . Words elude us , And silence is impossible . In the quiet between our thoughts , Help us to find solace .
ר ח ו ם Compassionate One , We stand before You with shattered hopes and hearts . 3 Ease our suffering , wipe our tears , witness our mourning .
מ פ י ח ת ק ו ו ה Nurturing Presence We grieve the deaths of our soldiers and the empty seats at our tables . Set free the remaining captives 4 awaiting rescue in Gaza .
