Creating day and night, rolling light away from before darkness, and darkness from before light, causing the day to pass, bringing night, and separating day and night. The cosmos is revealed, a living and enduring God, forever guiding us. Blessed is the Ineffable, bringing on the evenings. 15. Ahavat Olam 16.

V’Ahavta (Interpretive Version by Marge Piercy) So you shall love what is holy with all your courage, with all your passion with all your strength. Let the words that have come down shine in our words and our actions. We must teach our children to know and understand them. We must speak about what is good and holy within our homes when we are working, when we are at play, when we lie down and when we get up. Let the work of our hands speak of goodness. Let it run in our blood and glow from our doors and windows. We should love ourselves, for we are of God. We should love our neighbors as ourselves. We should love the stranger, for we were once strangers in the land of Egypt and have been strangers in all the lands of the world since. Let love fill our hearts with its clear precious water. Heaven and earth observe how we cherish or spoil our world. Heaven and earth watch whether we choose life or choose death. We must chose life so our children's children may live. Be quiet and listen to the still small voice within that speaks in love. Open to that voice, hear it, heed it and work for life. Let us remember and strive to be good. Let us remember to find what is holy within and without. 2 18. MiChamocha 19.
