For the Jews of Manchester Who Prayed and Died on Yom Kippur

For the Jews of Manchester who prayed and died

On Yom Kippur, others on other days:

As during the First and Second Temple times,

During the Crusades and Inquisition,

During the Holocaust and afterwards,

Then on October 7, 2023,

Tortured, murdered, butchered, slaughtered,

As in synagogues, in Europe, the States, Australia,

Also, Armenians, Kurds, Uyghurs, Sudanese,

Innocent Iranians, Yemenites, Lebanese, Syrians

And Palestinians by terrorists.

Jonah was prophetically called to save

Any and every person who could be saved.

To be a light unto the nations

Means to care for the life of each and everyone.
