Hayinu K'cholmim

Every day, when the sun rises…
A new light shines upon Jerusalem…
And every night, when the moon glows…
A new light shines up Zion…
We pray that for eternity…
The sun will continue rise…
And the moon will continue glow…
On the land that is our hopes,
The land that is our dreams…
For hayinu k’cholmim, we were once like dreamers…
That there might someday be a land on which
The sun would shine, the moon could glow…
May the cycles of light continue to illuminate our beloved land;
May their rays cast warmth over all her inhabitants…
And may our prayers for peace cause even the dimmest stars to dazzle hopefully in the night sky…

A new year is upon us…
And may the light of our future shine endlessly upon Zion, and our holy city of Jerusalem…
