Horwitch Historic Call to Peace To raise up the land, To cause to inherit the desolate heritages; Saying to the prisoners: "Go forth;" To them that are in darkness: "Show yourselves;" They shall feed in the ways, And in all high hills shall be their pasture; They shall not hunger nor thirst, Neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: For He that hath compassion on them will lead them, Even by the springs of water will He guide them. And I will make all My mountains a way, And My highways shall be raised on high. Behold, these shall come from far; And, lo, these from the north and from the west, And these from the land of Sinim. Sing, 0 heavens, and be joyful, 0 earth, And break forth into singing, 0 mountains; For the Lord hath comforted His people, And bath compassion upon His afflicted. —Isaiah (Chapter 49, verses 8 13) - man (Trudy) Gendein; and seven grandchildren.
