Lee Diamond – From Generation To Generation
They are the culmination
Of the Jewish dream.
Every visionary of the
Jewish state would be in awe
At this generation of
Young Israeli Jews.
They are simply “menchen”
They are simply real
They are simply decent
There’s no façade
No more prickles of the
Sabra on the outside
And sweet on the inside
What you see
Is what you get.
They are beautiful
And handsome
Without and within
Intelligent and creative
Through and through
Ideological and practical
Committed to the new
The old and the changing.
Jewish beyond their awareness
Judaism carries them
on its shoulders
And they carry Judaism
And Israel on their shoulders
And in their silent souls.
They reach for the best
The highest and
most dangerous
Never in fear
But in dedication
To the cause
The Cause of
All generations
To be a free Jewish people
And nation
In our land
They are “start up” Jews
Yet humble
They love life
And peace and
Self sacrifice
And value home
They are the fruit
Of our Jewish wombs
And the seed of every
Jewish tribe
They carry the Jewish future
In their unsuspecting
Hearts and souls
The Generation of the Founders
Were tall and builders
But these young Israeli Jews
Of today
Tower over them
The ancient dream
Is today’s reality.
The torch is burning brighter
Than ever.
