Eyes Turned Toward the East

Scary things happening in Israel right now.

I'm thinking about "HaTikvah," whose lyrics are as relevant now as ever.

As long as the Jewish spirit is yearning deep in the heart,

With eyes turned toward the East, looking toward Zion,

Then our hope - the two-thousand-year-old hope - will not be lost:

To be a free people in our land,

The land of Zion and Jerusalem.
