USC Remembers: October 7th program and vigil, by Mary Cummins USC Alumni in Los Angeles, California


Attended the USC Remembers October 7th program and vigil today.Sponsors: USC Hillel, Chabad at USC, Trojans for Israel, Tikvah. Cosponsored by the USC Shoah Foundation, the USC Casden Institute, and the HUC-JIR Louchheim School for Judaic Studies. USC Dornsife, Hebrew Union College.  

The entire USC campus was locked down. Everyone had to show ID and it was scanned to get in. Doheny Library, Tommy Trojan, Hahn Plaza were gated off. There was lots of security. I saw one crazy blond lady on a bike yelling "Free Paleatine! From the river to the sea!"

יִתְגַּדַּל וְיִתְקַדַּשׁ שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּא. בְּעָלְמָא דִּי בְרָא כִרְעוּתֵהּ וְיַמְלִיךְ מַלְכוּתֵהּ בְּחַיֵּיכון וּבְיומֵיכון וּבְחַיֵּי דְכָל בֵּית יִשרָאֵל בַּעֲגָלָא וּבִזְמַן קָרִיב, וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן:

יְהֵא שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּא מְבָרַךְ לְעָלַם וּלְעָלְמֵי עָלְמַיָּא:

יִתְבָּרַךְ וְיִשְׁתַּבַּח וְיִתְפָּאַר וְיִתְרומַם וְיִתְנַשּא וְיִתְהַדָּר וְיִתְעַלֶּה וְיִתְהַלָּל שְׁמֵהּ דְּקֻדְשָׁא. בְּרִיךְ הוּא.

לְעֵלָּא לְעֵלָּא מִן כָּל בִּרְכָתָא וְשִׁירָתָא תֻּשְׁבְּחָתָא וְנֶחֱמָתָא דַּאֲמִירָן בְּעָלְמָא. וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן:

עושה שָׁלום בִּמְרומָיו הוּא יַעֲשה שָׁלום עָלֵינוּ וְעַל כָּל יִשרָאֵל וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן:

Yitgadal v’yitkadash sh’mei raba b’alma di v’ra chir’utei; v’yamlich malchutei b’hayeichon u-v’yomeichon, uv’hayei d’chol beit yisrael, ba-agala u-vi-z’man kariv, v’imru amen.

Blessed be God’s great name to all eternity.

Blessed, praised, honored, exalted, extolled, glorified, adored and lauded be the name of the Holy Blessed One, beyond all earthly words and songs of blessing, praise and comfort. To which we say: Amen.

May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life, for us and Israel. To which we say: Amen.

May the One who creates harmony on high, bring peace to us and to all Israel. To which we say: Amen.

May the source of peace send peace to all who mourn, and comfort to all who are bereaved. Together we say: Amen.

Acheinu: The Prayer for the Release of Captives

Acheinu kol beit yisrael,

han'tunim b'tzara uvashivyah, haomdim bein bayam uvein bayabasha. Hamakom y'racheim aleihem v'yotziem mitzara lirvacha, umi'afaila l'orah umishibud lig'ulah, hashta ba'agala uvizman kariv.

אַחֵינוּ כָּל בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל, הַנְּתוּנִים בְּצָרָה וּבַשִּׁבְיָה, הָעוֹמְדִים בֵּין בַּיָּם וּבֵין בַּיַּבָּשָׁה, הַמָּקוֹם יְרַחֵם עֲלֵיהֶם, וְיוֹצִיאֵם מִצָּרָה לִרְוָחָה, וּמֵאֲפֵלָה לְאוֹרָה, וּמִשִּׁעְבּוּד לִגְאֻלָּה, הַשְׁתָּא בַּעֲגָלָא וּבִזְמַן קָרִיב.

Translation:

As for our brothers and sisters, the whole house of Israel, who are given over to trouble or captivity​, whether they abide on the sea or on the dry land:

May the All-prese​nt have mercy upon them, and bring them forth from trouble to enlargeme​nt, from darkness to light, and from subjectio​n to redemptio​n, now speedily and at a near time.

Chaim Pshutim, Idan Raichel

בית 1 ]

ביום שכל הרחובות יהיו לטובתנו

יהיו שם בשבילנו ולא של אחרים

גם אנחנו אז נוכל לצאת שלובי ידיים

לראות אז מעלינו שמים נקיים

[פזמון]

ואת, עכשיו את לא יודעת

אבל אני שמעתי - יש חיים טובים

שכל האנשים חיים בלי פחד

ונשארים ביחד, חיים פשוטים

[גשר 1]

[בית 2]

ביום שכל הרחובות יהיו לטובתנו

נוכל לצאת בערב לראות רק כוכבים

גם אנחנו אז נוכל לראות אז בעצמנו

את מה שלא הכרנו מעבר לגדר

Our Father in Heaven, Rock and Redeemer of Israel, bless the State of Israel, the first manifestation of the approach of our redemption. Shield it with Your lovingkindness, envelop it in Your peace, and bestow Your light and truth upon its leaders, ministers, and advisors, and grace them with Your good counsel. Strengthen the hands of those who defend our holy land, grant them deliverance, and adorn them in a mantle of victory. Ordain peace in the land and grant its inhabitants eternal happiness.
