On this Mother' Day,

A Mother's Heart is Broken

By David Manuel

The Holy Land of Israel

has seen her children scattered

to the four corners of the world.

Some still care, but many have forgotten her.

And now she is in the greatest peril

since her neighbors sought

to annihilate her

thirty-four years ago.

At home, strife and confusion reign at her table;

abroad, her former friends have abandoned her,

even as her neighbors send martyr-children

to kill as many of her children, as they can.

But she still has friends

who will never forget

and who will stand by her,

come what may.

If you are one, chosen or grafted,

then gather with us

as we stand with her

on Mother's Day.

Your presence will bless her

more than you can possibly imagine!

Next year in Jerusalem ,

but this year in Boston !
