THE FLAG IN OUR GARDEN
By Ariella Bracha Waldinger
THE FLAG IN OUR GARDEN
The flag in our garden is shredded and torn
Like the hearts of so many Jews
The Jews who live in the Land
The ones who love the white and blue.
The Jews who lost their loved ones
In the fight for our nation to be free
In the land flowing with our lifeblood
The place given you and me.
Our ancient biblical homeland
The Land of the white and blue
The only place on earth where a Jew can be loyal and true
True to his biblical heritage
True to his G-d the King
True to his soul and his spirit where all of his gifts he can bring
to share with his holy nation
The nation of white and blue
the only place on earth where he can be a true Jew.
I now feel the losses of my people
As I live in the Land of the free
The nation who reclaimed its sovereignty
On the day G-d made it to be
The 5th of the month of Iyar
The Month of healing and light
During a time when the darkness of oppression had made the days feel like night
We call it Divine intervention
We call it a miraculous gift
We call it the power of G-ds mercy
And it gave our nation a lift
And restored us to our greatness
In the land of the white and blue
Where we can now serve G-d in gratitude
And to our Holy nation in our Holy Land be forever true!
Coming Into the Light of Aliyah
