About me

Introduction This blog is dedicated to the memory of Chana Szenes. In her poem, Eli, Eli, she wrote: O Lord, My G-d, I pray that these things never end, The sand and the sea, The rush of the water, The crash of the heavens, The prayer of the heart. The title of this blog is a reference to her biography, based on another of her poems: Blessed is the match that burns and kindles the flames. Blessed is the flame that burns inside the hearts. Blessed are the hearts to know when to stop with dignity. Blessed is the match that burns and kindles the flames.
