Throughout history, when Klal Yisroel cries in pain we run like a child to our mother. Mama Rachel, we yearn for your comfort and your tefillos and we beg: Please take our pain straight to the kisei hakavod! Please plead and intercede on our behalf. Cry along with us and shake the heavens for us, your aching children.
Mama, when you lost your lot in life, you didn’t ask any questions. You believed in the same Master Plan that we still cling to. But now we need you to ask. We beg you to stand before Hashem and don’t stop asking:
When? When will this galus come to an end?
Mama, please don’t stop asking when!
This song was written for Mosdos Kever Rochel, to express the yearning of our collective hearts. May we be zoche to the geulah sheleima b’karov.
Lyrics:
Looking back at the trail of tears behind them
the past they cherished disappeared from sight
hearts torn from the home they’d never see again
Thrust into an exile, wanderers of the night
But along the road she waited
For her children
For who else but a mother eases pain
Her resting place was chosen for this reason
To be that one lone space of comfort that remains
So we carry our prayers to you mamme rochel
With no more words and only tears – to you mamme rochel
When our world seems to end, we come back to you again
Mamme don’t stop asking when mamme mamme rochel
Mamme you did not ask why mamme mamme rochel
Mamme you did not ask how mamme mamme rochel
But please don’t hold back your tears
Let your voice be heard again
Mamme don't stop asking when
Mamme mamme rochel
Kol berama nishma……
When our lives have been shaken
It is here that we feel safe
So we turn to you- there's nowhere else to run
The future feels uncertain
But in this promise we have faith
Veshavu veshavu vanim legvulam
