What follows are the words to a song (which is also a prayer) called “Shalva B’armonotiech || Peace in your castles” by Ravid Plotnik.
The explanation of “what is prayer” is from Shai Zabri (it’s part of the song).
The translation is my own.
You can listen to the song on YouTube here or on Spotify here.
Please know that we are all well.
Shabbat shalom friends.
May there be peace within your provinces.
May every road you travel open for you.
May you get your share.
And arrive at every destination you seek.
May everyone you loved be blessed.
May serenity hover over you.
May there peace within your castles.
May all of your dreams come true.
May all of your fears disappear.
Because only good is ahead of you.
Yes. Only good is ahead of you.
May there be peace within your provinces.
May every road you travel open for you.
May both of your hands be blessed.
I am your solider. I am behind you.
With light glowing in your eyes
Shining like a star in the night.
You are a pure warrior, woman.
You are a heroine; a woman of valor.
May all your dreams come true.
May you raise your children.
And only good is ahead of you.
Yes. Only good is ahead of you.
“Prayer for me is a broad thing, and my interpretation of prayer is very, very broad.
I think any time you try do right. Any time you are really precise with you words, and say something that’s true – with total honesty.
That effort – that experience – of trying [to express yourself], is prayer.
It doesn’t matter if you wind up articulating something real and honest.
But so long as you try to be sincere in your prayer and precise your intentions,
You are in prayer.
And then whatever is true and real inside of you starts to come out.”
May there be peace in your provinces.
Flow and awareness of abundance.
May all paths be open for you.
Flow and awareness of abundance.
