So you think.you can tell

Heaven from Hell.

 

Two Hasidic men

With their ringlets and all

Playing Pink Floyd

Against a Jerusalem wall.

Wish you were here.

Washed over by waves of invaders

Saladin, Richard Coeur de Lion.

In modernity men and women

With no flesh, no fat on their bones

Crowded onto boats in 1946

People fleeing the Shoah - the catastrophe -

Came to weep at the weeping wall

Fight for a land they called home.

Two thousand years in the wilderness

Remnants remained to build

A new Israel, to build 

Yad Vashem -

To build - remembrance.
