TALMUD IN VERSE

By Justice Michel M. J. Shore

Kiddushin- betrothal is commitment, Acknowledgement of a permanent union. Its responsibility is fulfillment Through gift, document, intimate union.

The covenant is attested by two witnesses; As the pact between G-d and Israel, Is a sacred bond, bound by promise, As is witnessed by both heaven and earth.

The Chuppah, a physical manifestation, Of the home to nurture a family, Is incorporated into the Nissuin. Not forgotten are slaves or animals.

Commitment does not have a recess, or pause. All acts in a home reflect that commitment. To cosmic ethical harmony.
