Beha'alotecha
When God began to create heaven and earth— the earth being chaotic, with darkness over the surface of the deep and the spirit of God sweeping over the water— God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day and called the darkness Night. And there was evening and there was morning, a first day.
Bat Mitzvah of Jessica Dworkin (Masorti) Bar Mitzvah of Jack Harrison (Mincha)
