On the way to synagogue today
I spot interesting church signs
“Come as you are”
I think that’s my favorite one
Then today’s
“God is still talking to us”
That one made me think
How can we hear him or her?
Is she really concerned with us,
with all the hatred and killing?
But there are so many good people too
and so much love when you know
where to look for it
We have joined a small tribe
of Jews here in Idaho
and are better for it.
Yet the hatred touches us
even here in the north
we have to be concerned
with protecting ourselves
instead of just relaxing
with our sabbath songs.
The key the rabbis tell us
is not to lose hope
