Each day, God, You raise the gates of the east, open the windows of the sky, bring forth the sun from its place and the moon from where it sits, illuminating the entire world and all its inhabitants whom You created, with mercy. With kindness You illumine the earth and all who dwell on it, and in Your goodness, day after day, You renew creation. Sovereign, You alone ruled on high from the very beginning, praised, glorified, and exalted since earliest time.

None is like You, none is beside You, nothing exists without You, and none can be compared to You: none is like You, Adonai our God, in this world, none but You will be our sovereign in the world that is coming, no one but You exists, who will redeem us and usher in the messianic age, and none can compare to You, our deliverer, giving life to the dead.
Commentary FORMING LIGHT יוֹצֵר אוֹר. This opening b’rakhah before the Sh’ma acknowledges that we experience God, first of all, through witnessing the miracle of creation. Praying in the morning, we are asked to pay attention to the wonder of the dawn, of sunlight, and of a new day. In the liturgy, the break of dawn is then imagined as a chorus of song in which we join. This b’rakhah is adapted from a verse in Isaiah (45:7), which reads oseh shalom u-vorei ra, “who makes peace and creates evil.” The prophet insists that both good and evil come from the one God. But in the moment of prayer, we focus on all for which we can be thankful, beginning with the light that makes life possible; therefore, the ancient rabbis transformed this biblical verse and changed the ending to read “creating all.”
Commentary ALL הַכֹּל. The word hakol, “all,” occurs five times in quick succession and refers to the totality of humanity, all earthly creatures and forces, as well as the heavenly bodies and the most distant galaxies. It echoes the last word of the opening b’rakhah (borei et ha-kol, “creating all,” at the top of this page) and anticipates the affirmation of the one God, who is God of all, and whom we are about to praise in the Sh’ma.
Commentary NONE IS LIKE YOU אֵין כְּעֶרְכְּךָ. The poet is playing with a variety of biblical verses: Isaiah 40:18, “what image can be ascribed to You”; 1 Samuel 2:2, “there is none beside You”; and Isaiah 40:25, “to whom can you compare God.”
Commentary MESSIANIC AGE לִימוֹת הַמָּשִׁיחַ. The poet progresses through stages of redemption from olam ha-ba, the world that is coming, to y’mot ha-mashiaḥ, the messianic age, to t’ḥiyat ha-meitim, life given to the dead.
MarginNote All Thank You It is not you alone, or we, or those others who pray; all things pray, all things pour forth their souls. The heavens pray, the earth prays, every creature and every living thing prays. In all life, there is longing. Creation is itself but a longing, a kind of prayer of the Almighty. —MICHA JOSEPH BERDYCZEWSKI
MarginNote God of All Everything you see enwraps holiness: take away the outer shell and gaze at the spiritual beauty. —HILLEL ZEITLIN
