Poetry Super Highway's Yom HaShoah

Thanks to Rick Lupert for including my poem 'Pikuach Nefesh' in Poetry Super Highway's 23rd Annual Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) Poetry Issue.

Pikuach nefesh is the principle in Jewish law that the preservation of human life overrides virtually any other religious rule. The opening line of the poem is an extract from the mourner's Kaddish.
