Forgive us Hashem, please Hashem we
beg You, for we refuse to cherish the Land that You desire. Who are we when
compared to those brave men who settled in the land in the past generations,
we are like worms without strength, we are weak in our minds. We say one thing
and mean the other, we who recite the prayers which exalt the land constantly
and yet refuse to go live there. We say Next Year in Yerushalaim and yet we
choose to remain in impure Lands. Hashem, please give us strength to break the
lust for money which holds us back from going up to Eretz Israel, for it is
known before You, that material comfort is the main reason why we do not come
closer to You in the Land of the living.
We are sorry
Hashem, You must feel betrayed by our behavior, please Hashem be patient; Do
it for Your sake and not for us.
Oh
Hashem, the Land is ready, we have no problems with governments forbidding our
entrance to the Land, as used to be the case before, moreover now we have a
government that helps us settle in the Land You chose to give us, and
yet Hashem we still choose to dwell in the Lands of our enemies. Waiting, just
waiting for the next pogrom, for the next confiscation of our assets. How
blind we are.
Hashem please
have compassion on us, and even though we have no merits, please Hashem open
our hearts to the Love of Eretz Israel so that we may go live there. That we
may go there through compassion and not becasue of death and persecution, G-d
forbid
Open our eyes
Hashem, that we may see clearly that America is not our Land, Europe is not
our Land, open our eyes that we may feel the impurity in which we are
immersed. Remove us from the sin of the spies who despised the Land. Forgive
us for having heard their evil counsel, and having cried for no reason (That
night of Tisha Be Av). Please Hashem let us repair what we did to the Shechina
(Ha Aretz) when we complained about her.
We don't want
to be in the desert anymore. We want to enter the Land. But we need Your help,
in order to break our desires. Let us Hashem follow Your Torah and not our own
wishes, for Your Torah can only be properly fulfilled in Eretz Israel.
Please Hashem
listen to our supplications, because You listen to the Tefillah of everyone
who desires to fulfill Your Torah |
