Instructions At a wedding or Sheva Berakhot, the seven blessings on page 1094 are said, beginning with the second blessing, "Who has created all," and ending with the first blessing, that over the wine.
Commentary נַעַר הָיִיתִי Once I was young: The standard translation of this verse (Psalm 37:25) is "I was young and now am old and I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children searching for bread." I have translated it here according to a fine insight, author unknown, suggesting that the verb ra'iti should be understood in the sense in which it appears in the book of Esther, when Esther, pleading on behalf of Jewry, says: "For how can I watch the evil that shall come unto my people? Or how can I watch the destruction of my kindred?" (8:6). The verb there means "stand as a passive witness to." Taken in this sense, Psalm 37:25 should be understood as, "When the righteous was forsaken or his children forced to search for bread, I never merely stood and watched." Understood thus, it is a warning against being a mere bystander while other people suffer. It thus brings the Grace to a symmetrical close: It began by speaking of God's goodness in feeding the hungry and ends with an injunction for us to do likewise. This too is part of "walking in God's ways."
