Ma’ariv Araveem Reinterpreted

We lift our hearts in praise to You, Holy Blessed One, Source of all that is continuously unfolding. You invite us into evening; opening the gates of heaven, with compassion for our sorrows, and You know joy, in our joys. You have established time in hours, days, and moments, for us to thrive as fully as possible through the seasons of our lives. You have arranged the stars twinkling above, just so, lighting the blackness of the sky, like many questions scattered for us to ponder. You create light and darkness, one rolls away to make space for the other to exist, for we need one to know the other; light and dark. Holy One, in your wisdom, day passes into night, and night becomes morning.  Blessed are You, Source of All; You have Created the world from Love.
