Ki Savo
Above the Valley of Shechem,
Two mountains stand on high,
An ancient altar on the higher one,
Shomronim dwell on the other side.
’Tis here that Yaakov Avinu returned,
From Esav’s grasp he came home,
Where Dina was taken against her will,
And avenged by Levi and Shimon.
’Tis here that Yosef HaTzaddik was brought,
After we returned from Mitzrayim,
To be buried in the kever assigned to him,
By the children of Menasheh and Efraim.
Still, echoes of brachas and klalos are heard,
Between Har Grizim and Eval,
And like a silent witness,
That altar still stands,
And listens to it all.
