Two by Two: Saving the Children From the Storm of Bullets Raining Down on their Heads

Two by Two: Saving OurselvesFrom the Storm of BulletsRaining Down on our Heads By Rabbi Paul Kipnes

Two by two The animals went into Noah’s Ark Seeking safety from the storm Two by two. Two by two The future was secured Ensuring that the vulnerable ones Would have chance to thrive Two by two.

bleeds, Teaches Torah, Goading us to do for humans, What Noah and God did for animals, To save them Two by two. We have two days, Little more, After a shooting When we are up in arms, Over the misinterpreted right to bear arms Before we throw up our hands in frustration And return to our self-induced indemnification And go back to sleep. So let’s take a page from Noah’s Ark And save them Two by two. For two days Let’s each take two actions To save the most vulnerable. You might: Join an organization that reflects your views Or Send a check to a candidate that reflects your views Or Write a letter to your congresspeople that reflects your views Or Attend a rally to reflect your views Or Make a donation to a group that reflects your views Or Write an article to reflect your views Or Vote for candidates that reflect your views And then Encourage two friends to do two by two Yes, be like Noah Don’t stop to pray (except maybe Kaddish for the dead) But hurry up And do your part Two by two Because We only have two days To protect each other: Our children, our teens, Our worshippers, our concert-goers. Before we go back to sleep Make your Two by Two count. Now.
