I Walk To Shul After The Brit 5773 Poem by Shalom Freedman

I walk to Shul
After the Brit
Tzom Gedaliah 5773-

What a good strong breeze
How light and young I feel
Fasting-

A New Year is beginning with many threats
What will it bring?

I pray it will be Life not Death-
It pray it will be Happiness and not great Suffering-

The breeze and the wind now
Enjoyable now-

In two hours the fast will be over
And I will begin another year -

God bless the child that has entered the Brit of Avraham Avinu today
May he have a good long life
In the land of Israel.
