Blessed is the match consumed in kindling flame. #YomHaShoah

,אַשְׁרֵי הַגַּפְרוּר שֶׁנִּשְׂרַף וְהִצִּית לֶהָבוֹת

.אַשְׁרֵי הַלְּהָבָה שֶׁבָּעֲרָה בְּסִתְרֵי לְבָבוֹת

...אַשְׁרֵי הַלְבָבוֹת שֶׁיָדְעוּ לַחְדוֹל בְּכָבוֹד

.אַשְׁרֵי הַגַּפְרוּר שֶׁנִּשְׂרַף וְהִצִּית לֶהָבוֹת

Blessed is the match consumed

in kindling flame.
Blessed is the flame that burns 

in the secret fastness of the heart.
Blessed is the heart with strength 

to stop its beating for honor's sake.
Blessed is the match consumed 

in kindling flame.

- Hannah Szenes z"lm after she parachuted into a partisan camp in Yugoslavia
