I received a request from my fellow Zelman’s Partisans writer Y.B. ben Avraham to post this for him in light of the Poway Chabad attack.
The words transliterated and in English are below.
| VEHI SHE’AMDAH
Vehi she’amdah l’avoteinu velanu. She’lo echad bilvad amad aleinu lechaloteinu. Ela sheb’chol dor vador omdim aleinu lechaloteinu. Vehakadosh baruch hu matzileinu miyadam. |
THIS IS THAT PROMISE
And this is that (promise) which sustained our fathers and us. That it is not one (enemy) alone that stood up against us to destroy us. But that in each generation there are those standing up against us to destroy us. But the Holy One Blessed Be He saves us from their hand. |
