My dear,
In times of hardship,
I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders.
I ask not for an easier path, but for stronger feet.
I ask not for weaker enemies, but a stronger me.
Let life do with us what it wants, but let us be strong enough to handle it.
… We are strong enough to handle it. Our shoulders are broad, and they get broader with time.
Falsely yours,
The Jewish People
