Piyut For Shabbos Bereishis

A piyyut written for Shabbos Bereishis. Now only said by a handful of Kehillos though it used to be more widespread. Perhaps it should be publicized before this coming Shabbos in light of the events in Eretz Yisroel, as it speaks very poignantly about the suffering of Klal Yisroel and asks for the Geula. Can also be found in Otzar HaTefillos, Belz Siddur, and most Yekkishe Siddurim with Piyutim.)

People were probably saying this for hundreds of years with no idea why this was written for Shabbos Bereishis. But I think this year we are painfully aware of its relevance.
