Who by Fire

by David Zabludowski, Mexico

 

It’s crowded in the synagogue- it’s impossible to move

And among the Jews is my dear brother

My G-d, my G-d look from the sky

My brother is burnt, burnt alive

 

The synagogue is burning- the fire is boiling

In the holy place- Jews are stricken by fear

Listen Israel- crying to the sky

My brother is burnt, burnt alive

 

The walls are aflame- the roof has already sunken

Alit like a candle the chess artist

With fear and fright the eyes are torn

My brother is burnt, burnt alive
