founding and flourishing of the Jewish state the hand of the same beneficent God who attended our own founding and has guided our fortunes until now . Keeping faith with the people of Israel in their still unfinished confrontation with evil is , to me , a species of keeping faith with ourselves ; breaking faith , a species of self-negation . It is exactly that simple , and exactly that difficult , and exactly that consequential .”

We retell these horrors : all this has befallen our people . “ If there yet remains one thoughtless wretch who believes it not , let him suffer it unlamented .” ( Thomas Paine , 1776 )
We pour out our broken , aching hearts : From on high , grant mercy , O Merciful , Compassionate God . From the very heavens behold , Merciful One , the senseless bloodshed . From Your Divine realm , wash away the pain and the bloodstains , and assume Your seat on the Throne of Mercy .
