SECOND EXODUS

 

Exodus

a song by Édith Piaf

Ils sont partis dans un soleil d'hiver
Ils sont partis courir la mer
Pour éffacer la peur
Pour écraser la peur
Que la vie a clouée au fond du cœur

Ils sont partis en croyant aux moissons
Du vieux pays de leurs chansons
Le cœur chantant d'éspoir
Le cœur hurlant d'éspoir
Ils ont repris le chemin de leur mémoire

Mrs. Joan Berman Mizrahi transcribed our Egyptian Lecha Dodi in musical notation (attached).

 And He said, I am G-D, the G-D, of your father: fear not to go down to Egypt; for I will make you there into a great nation: I Myself will go down with you to Egypt, and I Myself will also bring you back.....(Genesis 46, 3-4)

Pledge Never to ReturnVISA

got my exit visa. Pharaoh decided to let *this* Jew go. It gave me two weeks to leave. On both sides of the exit visa stamp, there was a red "Y" in Arabic between quotation marks, added by hand in red ink. It stood for Yahudi -- Jew. A signal to those who would later check this visa to harass me as much as possible.

 

GROWING UP UNDER PHARAOH

By: Dr. Maurice Mizrahi

Ils ont pleuré les larmes de la mer
Ils ont versé tant de prières :
"Délivrez-nous, nos frères !
Délivrez-nous, nos frères !"
Que leurs frères les ont tirés vers la lumière

Ils sont là-bas dans un pays nouveau
Qui flotte au mât de leur bateau
Le cœur brisé d'amour
Le cœur perdu d'amour
Ils ont retrouvé la terre de l'amour

Ah ! Ah ! Ah !
Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! Ah !
Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! Ah !
Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! Ah !
