Yes, it is bread we fight for, but we fight for roses, too

L'shanah tovah! Happy Labor Day! Write for justice in the book of our lives: in a year when so many would see the covers closed, write life. Mir zaynen do. Mir veln zayn do.

Though I will own I hoped we could put down the fight, this is a good blessing. Thank you for calling it down to us.

Edit: I apologize for some shit that I did wrong!

I translated that song to Swedish, and have sung it before thousands of people on May Day. : ) Later when I dug into the archives of the university library, I did find one previous translation from the 70's, but it didn't seem to have survived in popular tradition, and anyway I ended up happier with mine.

Happy New Year - may it be sweet. And may we have the energy to keep on fighting.

L'shanah tovah! ... he said, finally getting online after the holiday.

We had a portion of services outdoors, in a butterfly garden at a local park, masking and distancing required.
