HaHatunah (The Wedding)

Small owl perched on a branch, surrounded by dark foliage and a blue, dusky sky in the background.
I asked the night sky,

Do I believe
or do I not believe
that God gave Moses the Torah at
Mount Sinai?

What do you mean by Sinai?
asked the stones.

What do you mean by at?
asked the lizard.

What do you mean by Torah?
asked the river.

What do you mean by Moses?
asked the owl.

What do you mean by gave?
asked the fern.

What do you mean by God?
asked the wind.

We all laughed.
And cried.

Yes, I said.
Yes, I do.

I do.
