The Bible’s Psalm 121 has been adopted by the Jewish people over many generations as a common prayer recited during times of crisis like the one we are experiencing now as Israel is at war, more than a thousand have been murdered and hundreds are being held hostage by a barbaric enemy, and antisemitism has exploded worldwide. We pray that God, the “guardian of Israel” will watch over us and be our protector and shield from this and every evil. [Rabbi Noam Marans, AJC Director of Interreligious and Intergroup Relations]
A song for ascents. I shall raise my eyes to the mountains, from where will my help come?
