The touch of my Tallit



I feel the touch of my Tallit against my skin,
The I say the morning prayers.

There are things I love as a Jew;
When I sing Oseh Shalom.
Holding the Torah,
Looking at the scroll,
Seeing the words.

The tents of Jacob,
Welcoming the Shabbat Bride,
Lighting two candles as the sun sets
Twilight beckons.

Visiting the sick,
Celebrating with those marrying
Doing Tikkun Olam
Doing Tzadek

All I have ever been,
All I ever will be,
All that I am ...
is defined by being a Jew.
