Words:

Lo yisa goy el goy cherev v’lo yilmedu od milchama
Lechu v’nelcha b’or Havayah,
V’ha’emet v’hashalom ehavu.

לֹא יִשָּׂא גוֹי אֶל גּוֹי חֶרֶב, וְלֹא יִלְמְדוּ עוֹד מִלְחָמָה.
לְכוּ וְנֵלְכָה, בְּאוֹר הויה, וְהָאֱמֶת וְהַשָּׁלוֹם, אֱהָבוּ.
(ישעיהו ב', ד-ה, זכריה ח', י"ט)


Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more .
Come and let us walk in the light of Havayah. Therefore love truth and peace.
(Isaiah 2,4-5; Zechariah 8,19)
