Your Nation despised itself to death

lyrics:
November 1960 Rafael Rosenzweig for Christa from Germany Jerusalem, November 1960 |
tune:

I copied this many years ago. The photo which
I glued on it then, shows Rafael as a child, about 1929.
The original poem was returned to Rafael, according to his wish, after our
divorce in 1981.
The following translation was made by me for the page "The
Heart is awake" (4), Dec. 8, 2007.
SHILLUMIM
- REPARATIONS Your nation has despised itself to death* , You atone for the wrong you have not done, If integrity, honesty, purity, if
faith and love We know - There are no reparations for the heart of a mother Whose infant was smashed against a wall And how will they wipe off the squalor
of blood and tears |
On the birthday of my ex-husband on Sept.
8, 2008, I re-edited that song in K.i.s.s.-log

Song
of the Day
|
Rafael Rosenzweig, my ex-husband and father of my 3 children
and father of his children with Ines, would have become 86 years today.
For the traditional Memorial-Day on the Thirtieth day after the death of a
close person,
Immanuel
our eldest son, created a presentation, which started with the song "One
Human Fabric" by Chava
Alberstein
(As to Rafael, see also
puzzle-piece 1b, and "The
Heart is Awake" III, and IV)

This
image, cut out from the trailer of "Everything
is illuminated", I shall always see in front of my eyes when I'll sing this song I'll experience all that has been created, I'll feel~womb all that has happened, I am a World, and the World is in me. |

the original song - recorded from TV |
my song, as I was able to adjust it, for the time being... |

Today, Nov. 4, 2010, fifty
years of the beginning of Mika's grandparents' love,
I feel moved by this drawing.
Mika's "card" for the bride of Avi, son
of Shalom, Efrat's mother's brother.
Imma folded laundry, I repaired a towel and Mika worked on our chest-desk
and learnt how to write "nisu'im" [marriage]
and "kalah" [bride].
The next morning, Nov. 5, 2010, I told Efrat about this special anniversary.
She opened her eyes wide and - as if overseeing those past 50 years - said:
"What would have happened, if there would
not have been a November 4, 1960?"
"For sure, you and Mika and I ~ wouldn't been sitting around here at
Shoham!"
Later - back at Arad - I transferred some photos made with my cell-phone.
Since there is no space around the pages which include October
29, 2010,
I'll insert the scene with Mika - on the morning of my travel
with Yanina to Jerusalem -
here:
