Kohanecha yil’b’shu-tzedek,
vachasidecha y’ranenu

Let the priests in you be robed in Justice;
Let the lovers sing. (Psalm 132:9)
[Click (or tap) to see the entire Psalm 132 in Hebrew and English (JPS 1985).]

As we rise to meet the challenges of this world, we can call on the part of us that is the priest, clothing that aspect in justice, remembering that holiness requires our serious commitment to truth, equality, compassion and integrity. At the same time, we must call on the lover within to raise her voice in joyous song. Only by bringing these two parts together, can we create a world that is in harmony with our highest ideals.
