          <text>PSALM 136 is clearly meant to be recited antiphonally: we can imagine pilgrims in the Temple responding with the singular shout ki l’olam ḥasdo, “for God’s love endures forever,” as each verse was proclaimed. (In the translation we have combined verses to provide more coherence for the English reader.) Like many psalms, although it rehearses God’s favor to Israel, it ends with a universal theme: God’s provision for all that lives.</text>

          <text>WHO PROVIDES BREAD FOR ALL FLESH נֹתֵן לֶחֶם לְכָל־בָּשָׂר. This verse may seem a bit out of place, following the psalmist’s magnificent and grand recitation of God’s miraculous deeds: creating the world and bringing the people Israel out of slavery in Egypt, through the wilderness and then to the promised land. The psalmist, though, wishes to end on a universal note. Additionally, this verse may suggest that feeding the hungry is also an act of redemption, no less so than other miraculous acts of God (from the creation of light to our arrival in the Land of Israel).</text>

          <text>GIVE THANKS TO THE RULER OF THE HEAVENS הוֹדוּ לְאֵל הַשָּׁמָיִם. The psalm began by praising God and ends with the same thought. Between the opening and closing, God’s judgment and compassion for the inhabitants of the earth has been demonstrated. The psalm ends with praise of God in heaven who sustains all life on earth.</text>

          <text>For God’s Love Endures Forever The repeated refrain speaks of the eternal nature of God’s ḥesed, translated here as “love” and elsewhere in this siddur as “kindly love.” It refers to acts, freely given, motivated by love. Love is initially a feeling, but its true being in the world is in the performance of acts of compassion and empathy, freely given without any expectation of recompense.</text>

          <text>The gods of Egypt and the God of Israel I no longer agonize over the historicity of the plagues. Something surely happened to enable Jacob’s progeny to shake off their shackles, but neither the sequence nor the substance are recoverable.… The deeper meaning of the conflict between Moses and Pharaoh lies not in the realm of history but theology. The root issue is not over who can deliver the most awesome miracle, but whose conception of God comes closer to the truth. Pharaoh mocks Moses.… The monotheism of Moses, without myth or magic and with little to say about the afterlife, could make no sense to him. This was to be a titanic struggle between two worldviews. —ISMAR SCHORSCH</text>
