Tractate Avodah Zarah
(According to Current Daf Yomi Cycle)
By Justice Michel M. J. Shore
What is the meaning of worshipping G-d,
Having no other G-d but the One G-d!
Recognizing that all our gratitude
Is to G-d, beyond all that G-d created.
To acknowledge all is in G-d’s name,
Every transaction, in all we do,
With each person and entity must reflect
Our understanding of G-d’s transcendence,
Also all-encompassing immanence.
In every sphere and dimension of life,
In whatever we think, say and do,
In what we prepare to drink, eat and celebrate,
Our reverence for G-d is paramount.
There is no other G-d, than the only G-d.
From morning to evening and how we sleep is charted.
From the dawn of life to all we commemorate,
Our reverence for G-d is that only G-d we venerate.
