~Hanna~,

You are so welcome. I hope you feel the strength in Hashem as we move forward into the coming times...

The line 'Poteach Et Yadecha' is a line from the Tehillim Perek 145... It means 'You Open Your Hand'... During the davening some people actually open their hand and look at it (I do this most of the time)...

Here it is in context:

15. Everyone's eyes look to You with hope, and You give them their food in its time.       טו. עֵינֵי כֹל אֵלֶיךָ יְשַׂבֵּרוּ וְאַתָּה נוֹתֵן לָהֶם אֶת אָכְלָם בְּעִתּוֹ:
16. You open Your hand and satisfy every living thing [with] its desire.       טז. פּוֹתֵחַ אֶת יָדֶךָ וּמַשְׂבִּיעַ לְכָל חַי רָצוֹן:
17. The Lord is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His deeds.       יז. צַדִּיק יְהֹוָה בְּכָל דְּרָכָיו וְחָסִיד בְּכָל מַעֲשָׂיו:

It forms the central theme in this song:

Here the famous Piamenta brothers perform a very moving rendition of 'Poteach Et Yadecha'..

Famous phrases by Isaiah: Poteach et yadecha u'masbeah lechol chai ve'ratzon. From Tehilim or Psalms 145:16 written by King David, also found in the prayer Ashrai, "You open your hand, and satisfy the desire of every living thing." It is our custom to hold our palms upward to the heavens when saying this prayer and to concentrate on Hashem "dropping" into our hands a blessing.

1. By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat, we also wept when we remembered Zion.       א. עַל נַהֲרוֹת | בָּבֶל שָׁם יָשַׁבְנוּ גַּם בָּכִינוּ בְּזָכְרֵנוּ אֶת צִיּוֹן:
2. On willows in its midst we hung our harps.       ב. עַל עֲרָבִים בְּתוֹכָהּ תָּלִינוּ כִּנֹּרוֹתֵינוּ:
3. For there our captors asked us for words of song and our tormentors [asked of us] mirth, "Sing for us of the song of Zion."       ג. כִּי שָׁם שְׁאֵלוּנוּ שׁוֹבֵינוּ דִּבְרֵי שִׁיר וְתוֹלָלֵינוּ שִׂמְחָה שִׁירוּ לָנוּ מִשִּׁיר צִיּוֹן:

6. May my tongue cling to my palate, if I do not remember you, if I do not bring up Jerusalem at the beginning of my joy.       ו. תִּדְבַּק לְשׁוֹנִי | לְחִכִּי אִם לֹא אֶזְכְּרֵכִי אִם לֹא אַעֲלֶה אֶת יְרוּשָׁלִַם עַל רֹאשׁ שִׂמְחָתִי:
7. Remember, O Lord, for the sons of Edom, the day of Jerusalem, those who say, "Raze it, raze it, down to its foundation!"       ז. זְכֹר יְהֹוָה | לִבְנֵי אֱדוֹם אֵת יוֹם יְרוּשָׁלִָם הָאֹמְרִים עָרוּ | עָרוּ עַד הַיְסוֹד בָּהּ:
8. O Daughter of Babylon, who is destined to be plundered, praiseworthy is he who repays you your recompense that you have done to us.       ח. בַּת בָּבֶל הַשְּׁדוּדָה אַשְׁרֵי שֶׁיְשַׁלֶּם לָךְ אֶת גְּמוּלֵךְ שֶׁגָּמַלְתְּ לָנוּ:

Yes, thankyou....He sometimes speaks to me in dreams.

I was out yesterday with my aunt and met not one but two people from Israel.

He gives me signs He is listening, and watching over me.

I believe that both actions on side of the Jews are wrong-first let mass murderers live, thus feed them and spend tax money on them, second release them like nothing happened. One wrong move leads to another.

I agree... If found guilty of mass murder (even one or two) for the purpose of terrorizing Jews the convict should be executed.
