important occasions, such as prayer or study. Otherwise, the

Our Hope
As long as deep in the heart,
The soul of a Jew yearns,
And onward,
towards the ends of the east,
An eye still looks toward Zion.
Our hope is not yet lost,
The hope of two thousand years,
To be a free nation in our land,
The land of Zion and Jerusalem.
