For Yom HaShoah (April 21, 2009)

Liturgy for Holocaust Memorial Day by Eliyahu Schleifer

God full of mercy who dwells on high, Judge of widows and Father of orphans, grant perfect rest under the wings of the Shechinah, among the ranks of the holy and pure ones who shine like the light of the firmament, to the souls of our brothers and sisters who were murdered in the Shoah as we and the whole house of Israel pray in their memory.  Let the earth not cover their blood nor their cry ever be extinguished.  By virtue of their Akedah may the dispersed of Israel return to their homeland.  May the holy onces come to their resting-place.  God is their portion and let us say - Amen.
