Throughout history, when Klal Yisroel cries in pain, we run like a child to our mother. Mama Rachel, we yearn for your comfort and your tefillos and we beg: Please take our pain straight to the kisei hakavod! Please plead and intercede on our behalf! Cry along with us and shake the heavens for us, your aching children.

Mama, when you lost your lot in life, you didn’t ask any questions. You believed in the same Master Plan that we still cling to. But now we need you to ask. We beg you to stand before Hashem and don’t stop asking: When?
When will this galus come to an end?
Mama, please don’t stop asking when!

This song was written for Mosdos Kever Rochel, and expresses the yearning of our collective hearts. May we be zoche to the geulah sheleima b’karov!

Lyrics:

Looking back at the trail of tears behind them.
The past they cherished disappeared from sight.
Hearts torn from the home they’d never see again,
Thrust into an exile, wanderers of the night.

But along the road she waited for her children,
For who else but a mother eases pain?
Her resting place was chosen for this reason,
To be that one lone space of comfort that remains.

So we carry our prayers to you, Mamme Rochel!
With no more words and only tears, to you Mamme Rochel!
When our world seems to end, we come back to you again,
Mamme, don’t stop asking when, Mamme Mamme Rochel.

Mamme, you did not ask why, Mamme Mamme Rochel!
Mamme, you did not ask how, Mamme Mamme Rochel!
But please don’t hold back your tears,
Let your voice be heard again,
Mamme, don’t stop asking when,
Mamme Mamme Rochel.

Kol b’ramah nishmanehi bechi samrurim, Rochel mevakah al baneha

When our lives have been shaken, it is here that we feel safe
So we turn to you, there’s nowhere else to run.
The future feels uncertain, but in this promise we have faith,
V’shavu v’shavu vanim legvulam!
