סליחות תשפ״ד
In an original Hebrew poem for Tishrei 5785, Shoshanah Haberman addresses God directly about the pain and uncertainty of our moment.
נמשלת ללבנה
נמשלת ללבנה
ניסן תשפ׳ו
שושנה הברמן
והוצאתי
והצלתי
וגאלתי
.ולקחתי
כאיילת השחר שבקע אורה
,כך היא גאולתן של ישראל
,בתחילה קימעא קימעא
כל מה שהיא הולכת
.היא רבה, והולכת
?היינו כחולמים
-בזמן שהרועה תועה
.תועין אחריו
-אבל אפילו בצל...
