English letters are as orderly as a battle line But Hebrew letters are flames in their shining shapes Even on a printed page they dance in light And with Light comes Truth; you can see God in them
For Hebrew letters are the Burning Bush The fires of Mount Horeb, the Temple sacrifice The light of a Talmud scholarβs study lamp The light of Torah upon civilization
We donβt know our letters as we should But God has written them upon our hearts
