Avodah– a poem by Barbara D. Holender

Avodah
Barbara D. Holender

Delight, O our God, in Your people Israel.
See how our souls mirror Your presence.

Let our yearnings be as words of praise
and our strivings as works of love.

Shower us

with compassion
as

we reach out

to You.

Ever-returning God
keep watch over Zion.
