Night: What are You, my God?

What are You, my God? (66)

Blessed be God's name? (67)

Look at these men whom You have betrayed, allowing them to be tortured,

slaughtered, gassed, and burned, what do they do? (68)

Why, but why would I bless Him? (67)

How could I say to Him: Blessed be Thou, Almighty, Master of the Universe,

Who chose us among all nations to be tortured day and night,

to watch as our fathers, our mothers, our brothers end up in the furnaces? (67)

What does Your grandeur mean, Master of the Universe,

in the face of all this cowardice, this decay, and this misery? (66)

You caused the heavens to rain down fire and damnation. (68)

God the accused. (68)

Where is God's Mercy? (77)

All of creation bears witness to the Greatness of God. (68)

Because in His great might, He created Auschwitz, Birkenau,

Buna, and so many other factories of Death? (67)

Man is too insignificant, too limited, to even try to

comprehend God's mysterious ways. (76)

Yes, man is stronger, and greater than God! (67)

I no longer accepted God's silence. (69)

What are You, my God? (66)
