"I stretched out my hands towards You"

I stretched my hands out to You

There are times when the world falls apart.
Right and left, opposing opinions, separate forces.

Rabbi Nachman teaches that peace between them
אקוד is born in the clapping of hands:
the moment when two hands meet
and where separation becomes unity.

From this came these three words:
"I stretched out my hands towards You."

Two open hands
who are looking for the connection,
who hope for unity.

This is a request for issuance.

To be in the place where everything comes together,
and to have confidence that from there,
Peace can begin.
