To ask God to grant us another good year. I~ Then from the Torah the story is told Of the tenth test of Abraham, our father of old. He smashed many idols and still remained brave, When thrown in a fire or trapped in a cave. He went far from home with his God-fearing wife, And fought evil kings at the risk of his life. He was circumcised when so very old, And sent out a son who could not be controlled. Now surely these tests were not simple, not small, But test number ten was the hardest of all. For Abraham was tested with Isaac, his son, l> In order to show how God's will should be done. 1,. "Take the child that you love," God told Abraham, "And offer him to Me, as you would a ram!" Abraham was shaken, but knew God was wise, And Isaac he woke with the early sunrise. He loaded his donkey with sticks for the fire, And traveled for three days to reach Mt. Moriah. He tied Isaac down and then lifted the knife. ~ But an angel cried out, "Stop! Stop! Save his life! Do him no harm, for God wants him to live. God sees there's no limit to wh&t you will give. Indeed, you've reached higher than all other men. \l . You've passed every test, even test number ten!" .).; God's love for Abraham is with us today, For on Rosh Hashanah we cry out and say: "Remember the ten tests, the altar, the knife, And write us, this year, in the book of long life!" - By Shoshana Lepon Copyright 1987 Illustrations by Nachman Shoshana Lepon lives in Jerusalem, Israel.
