הֱיֵה נָא קָרוֹב לְשַׁוְעָתֵנוּ
יְהִי־נָא חַסְדְּךָ לְנַחֲמֵנוּ
כִּי אַתָּה יְהֹוָה הָעוֹנֶה בְּעֵת צָרָה
פּוֹדֶה וּמַצִּיל בְּכָל־עֵת צָרָה וְצוּקָה
Please be near to our cry
Let Your loving kindness console us
For You, God, are the One who answers in time of trouble
Who redeems and rescues in all times of trouble and distress

I share the wonderful rendition of Amazing Grace performed by Garth Brooks at the Inauguration.
This beautiful song is for all of us. There was a time when Jews avoided this piece because of historic frictions. But if we are brave enough, we can embrace the power, beauty, and majesty of the music as we march forward with all our brothers and sisters in love.
Shabbat Shalom
