“We Remember Them” by Rabbis Sylvan Kamens & Jack Fiemer (1975)
“At the rising of the sun and at its going down…. At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter…. At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember them.”
“At the shining of the sun and in the warmth of summer…. At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn, we remember them.”
“At the beginning of the year and at its end…. When we have decisions… to make, when we have achievements that are based on theirs …. when we fulfill their dreams, and our own, we remember them.”
“As long as we live, they too will live: For they are now a part of us, as we remember them.”
