Breisheit 5773: For Creation
This is a simple prayer to remember the majesty of G-d’s creation. It’s the first of a series of prayers and poems tied to the parasha of the week. Some, like this one, will be repostings because the particular piece fits with the Torah reading. Others, like next week’s posting, which is called “The Flood,” will be new pieces. To listen along as you read, click on the triangle in the bar below. The text follows.
For Creation
Author of life,
Architect of creation,
Artist of earth,
Your works declare Your Holy Name.
Mighty rivers,
Turbulent seas,
Towering mountains,
Rolling hills,
Vast spaces of brilliance and grandeur.
You created pallet and paint,
Color and hue,
Shape and form,
Abundant and beautiful,
Glorious and majestic,
Full of mystery and wonder.
Blessed are You,
With divine love You created a world of splendor.
