“Wherever you find

there you will find His humility.

This is written in the Torah,

reiterated in the Prophets

and stated a third time in the [Holy] Writings.

It is Written in the Torah:

“For Adonoy, your God,

He is the God of gods,

and Master of masters,

the Almighty,

the Great, the Powerful, the Awesome,

Who has no regard for personages

and takes no bribes.

And following it is written:

“He does justice for the orphan and widow,

and loves the stranger,

giving him food and clothing.”²⁹

to revive the spirit of the humble

and to revive the heart of the contrite.”³⁰

And a third time in the [Holy] Writings

as it is written:

“Sing to God, compose hymns to His Name,

extol Him Who rides over the heavens,

with His Name, Yah,

and exult before Him.”

“The Father of orphans and Judge of widows,

is God, in His holy dwelling.”

around your table.
