 The Lord God shall wipe away the tears from all faces. At the same time, Almighty Lord, who grants strength to the righteous, our voices are also raised in battle cries. Unlike our parents and grandparents, we have a state of Israel, the homeland which Jews call the first budding of our redemption. We pray that you grant undying resolve and strength to our people. May you fill their hearts with the fortitude that Moses gave to Joshua,
