Leo Baeck
Leo Baeck (23 May 1873 – 2 November 1956) was a 20th-century German rabbi, scholar and theologian. He served as leader of Liberal Judaism in his native country and internationally, and later represented all German Jews during the Nazi era.
Early years
Baeck was born in Lissa (Leszno) (then in the German Province of Posen, now in Poland), the son of Rabbi Samuel Baeck, and began his education at the Jewish Theological Seminary of Breslau in 1894. He also studied philosophy in Berlin with Wilhelm Dilthey, served as a rabbi in Oppeln, Düsseldorf, and Berlin, and taught at the Hochschule für die Wissenschaft des Judentums (Higher Institute for Jewish Studies). In 1905 Baeck published The Essence of Judaism, in response to Adolf von Harnack's What is Christianity?. This book, which interpreted and valorized Judaism through a prism of Neo-Kantianism tempered with religious existentialism, made him a famous proponent for the Jewish people and their faith. During World War I, Baeck was a chaplain in the German Imperial Army.

Sila
by: LaibachMacht
C'ez nas viharji divjajo. Stuerme wueten ueber uns,
Mesta gorijo in telesa. es brennen Staedte und Menschenkoerper!
Slast nas stresa Lust durchstroemt uns.
Spet se c'es polja Ueber die Fluren lautet
glasijo zvoki nas'e govorice, der Klang unserer Worte wider,
ki nam molitev je in vrisk. die uns Gebet und Jauchzen sind.
Ne, ne dopusti vec', vesoljni bog, O allmaechtiger Gott, lass
da bi nas'a sila potonila, unsere Kraft nie mehr schwinden,
saj je tako brezmejno sladka, mila... denn sie ist so unendlich suess
und lieb...
SLAST NAS STRESA! LUST DURCHSTROEMT UNS!
(Power
Storms rage over us,
cities and human bodies are burning.
Lust flows through us.
Over the land the sound
of our words rings out,
that are to us prayer and exultation. [Not 100% sure about this verse.]
O almighty God, never let
our power fail again,
for it is so endlessly sweet and dear...
