Life is a Journey of Liberation -Torah Portion Bo

Life is a Journey of Liberation

Torah Portion Bo

Life is a journey of liberation

From oneself to be united as a nation.

To remove blocks, hardships, risks and pressure

Needs determination without measure.

In recognition, to push further,

Never reluctantly but with fervor.

To arrive at the collective destination,

Refusing abdication for destiny’s realization.

Yet, to live within, for the spirit’s respite,

For the soul’s home is not in transit.

It has always remained, never moved,

United with God, as was behooved.

We will arrive but on condition,

If, forever, we are true to our mission.
