26 Minutes
Written for Steve Cohn & Rabbi Levi Cunin, by Eric Sander Kingston (www.ericsanderkingston.com)
Our 2nd Temple is gone. Yet instead of only weeping we sang Niguns. We read Psalms. We sang “As the deer thirsts for water, L-rd so ‘our’ soul longs for you.” We sang and united and Prayed for 26 minutes, and in those 26 minutes all “baseless hatred” faded away from the earth and the Four Worlds became One…
And for 26 minutes in heart and soul
We spoke with the Burning Bush
We saw the Pillar of Fire
We walked through the 2nd Temple
For 26 minutes in heart and soul
We saw the souls of All Israel
We walked with Elijah
We heard Moses and the Prophets speak
For 26 minutes in heart and soul
We danced with the Divine
We became one with the Torah
We experienced, in heart and soul the Divine Essence of the 3rd Temple
One day
the 26 minutes will expand the Hidden Light of Heaven into our world
and we will experience, not only in heart and soul, but in body and upon the earth
and we will rebuild the 3rd Temple
and we will become the 3rd Temple
because we are the 3rd Temple
and
the 3rd Temple
is
us
With Today In Thought,
