Kiddush at the Kotel

Friday Night. A night to celebrate.

The sun has set and the week at its end.
We prayed, we ate, and we sang about the land.

After our meal, the guys @ AISH have a tradition:
Offer soldiers on duty a glass of Kiddushim.

(Kiddush is drinking a ceremonial glass of wine. In the soldiers case, grape juice)

We grabbed some cake and a bottle of Holy juice,
and walked down the steps letting our vocal cords loose.

Towards the Wall of Wailing Wonders we marched along,
Searching for soldiers as we sang our happy song.

We approached the first two soldiers with delight and gratitude,
We approached each soldier, even the one in a grumpy mood.

Some accepted with a smile, and others asked us to leave!
But we acheived our goal in offering a good deed.

Whether reluctant or grateful each soldier was that night,
Our thoughts and good wishes helped spread light.
