FEBRUARY 5, ‘25 // BY E. L. HIRSCHFELD “World breaking news”, Infamous king of Egypt; Pharoah, Freed the Hebrews! The headlines are screaming, Whilst all the waters in the world ceased streaming. (as brought down in מדרש) But לב מלאכים ביד השם, We know better than them. It was הקב”ה alone who freed us, Now when he deemed the time opportune, He had Pharaoh singing this tune. Joy and exultation! Engulfed our Nation. Our tormented cries, Have pierced the skies. Now we are marching, Six hundred thousand strong, Hearts and lips bursting with song. אז ישיר… Miriam is leading the נשי חיל with their tambourines. They are joining in our ecstasy, Not infringing on their modesty. Across the Yam Suf we stride with jubilation, Baruch Hashem, we are now a free nation! זה קלי ואנוהו, Even the children and servants can clearly see. We are following our holy leader משה רבינו, Under the guiding hand of הקדוש ברוך הוא. Leaving the land of immorality behind, We are heading toward the future. Which Hashem Yisborach custom designed, A life of kedusha and purity defined. Of serving our loving Creator, With light hearts and clear minds! שירה חדשה שבחו גאולים א פרייליכן שבת שירה שבת שירה 234
