“Comfort”
The temple in ruins
Among ashes and rubble
A fox prowls

The students weep
But Akiva laughs
The redemption will be
A dash of hope
In the darkness of night
Akiva, you have comforted us
Houses in ruins
Among ashes and rubble
Families torn
We loudly weep
But Akiva laughs
The redemption will be
A glimmer of hope
In the darkness of night
Akiva, you still comfort us
