See- Re'eh

Parshat Re'eh speaks to every one of us and asks us to see the differences between the blessings and the curses. We are told to choose the blessings. This prayer asks for God to see us.

Shabbat Shalom and may we hear good news soon..

רבונו של העולם

ראה

Ribono shel haolam,

Re’eh.

See us.

Your people.

Standing in the space

between the blessings and the curses

See our struggles,

our confusions,

See our fears.

See us for who we are.

Lift us up.

Dry our tears.

Deal with us with compassion,

As it is written, 

Not too much and not too little,

for we are Your people.

רבונו של העולם

RIbono shel haolam

Re'eh

See us.

The mothers, the fathers,

the children,

the old, the young.

the vulnerable, the strong.

The believers and those who have fled.

Those in Your Land

and those spread across the four corners of the earth,

See us.

our vulnerability,

our strength.

Our hearts, our souls, our might.

Grant us peace.

We pray to you.

See us.

Re’eh.

From the Haftarah for Parshat Re'eh

כִּֽי־בְשִׂמְחָ֣ה תֵצֵ֔אוּ וּבְשָׁל֖וֹם תּוּבָל֑וּן הֶהָרִ֣ים וְהַגְּבָע֗וֹת יִפְצְח֤וּ לִפְנֵיכֶם֙ רִנָּ֔ה וְכל־עֲצֵ֥י הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה יִמְחֲאוּ־כָֽף׃

Yea, you shall leave in joy and be led home secure.

Before you, mount and hill shall shout aloud,

And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

Isaiah 56:12
