May It Ascend and Come

May it ascend and reach. Figuratively: an invitation calling someone to come up onto the stage.

(‘Our God and God of our ancestors, may it ascend and come, and may it reach and be desired and heard, and may You remember our remembrance and the remembrance of our ancestors’ — from the prayer ‘Ya'aleh VeYavo’, recited on Rosh Chodesh and on the festivals; and also: ‘He denied the essence of his journey and said: Never will this one ascend and come to the Sambatyon, until hairs grow on the palm of his hand’ — Mendel Mocher Sforim / Travels of Benjamin the Third 9:63; and also: ‘There was one neighbor to the father of the ox. Such a thing would neither ascend nor come’ — Agnon / Until Here, Father of the Ox, 264; and also: ‘Do not say: Behold, my last road / the light of day was hidden by the cloudy sky. / This is a day we still long for / to ascend and come / and our marching will still thunder: we are here’ — Hirsch Glik / The Partisan Song in Avraham Shlonsky’s translation from Yiddish)
