“\u2026 between a husband and his wife\u2026” (Numbers 30:17)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not like Amram’s son<\/span>
\n<\/span>Who spoke to God face to face \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/span>But abandoned the tent of Jethro’s daughter;<\/span>
\n<\/span>Nor like Jesse’s son<\/span>
\n<\/span>Who danced and leaped in front of the Lord’s ark with all his strength<\/span>
\n<\/span>But left Saul’s daughter behind a closed, opaque window;<\/span>
\n<\/span>Nor like Abraham’s son<\/span>
\n<\/span>Who meditated before his Maker each evening \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/span>But exchanged no words with Bethuel’s daughter concerning his sons and hers \u2014 <\/span><\/p>\n

Rather<\/span>
\n<\/span>Like a simple son of Adam,<\/span>
\n<\/span>An ordinary man,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Let me love you<\/span><\/p>\n

As winter loves the snow,<\/span>
\n<\/span>As spring loves the rain,<\/span>
\n<\/span>As summer loves the dew,<\/span>
\n<\/span>As autumn loves the hail;<\/span>
\n<\/span>Let me drink from your well,<\/span><\/p>\n

Immerse in your lake<\/span>
\n<\/span> Swim in your sea.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let me discover islands in you,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Islands I have not yet explored,<\/span>
\n<\/span>As Columbus discovered a continent,<\/span><\/p>\n

Balboa \u2014 an ocean,<\/span>
\n<\/span> Galileo \u2014 unimagined moons.<\/span><\/p>\n

And if I should dream of a ladder<\/span>
\n<\/span>Whose top reaches the heavens,<\/span>
\n<\/span>May we dream together;<\/span>
\n<\/span>Should I ever draw a picture<\/span>
\n<\/span>Dot by dot, line to line, here a little, there a little,<\/span>
\n<\/span>May we paint together;<\/span>
\n<\/span>Should I lay my hand on a key<\/span>
\n<\/span>That unlocks a garden’s gate,<\/span>
\n<\/span>May we open it together;<\/span>
\n<\/span>And should I merit another dawn and another dusk,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Another <\/span>Shabbat<\/span><\/i> and a whole stretch of weekdays,<\/span>
\n<\/span>May we grow old together. <\/span><\/p>\n

May we sit, you and I,<\/span>
\n<\/span>In the courtyards of Jerusalem<\/span>
\n<\/span>Opposite the house of our grandchildren,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Each of us leaning on a cane;<\/span>
\n<\/span>May we see<\/span>
\n<\/span>The city filled with boys and girls<\/span>
\n<\/span>Playing in her streets.<\/span><\/p>\n

And pray with me<\/span>
\n<\/span>Together, without a <\/span>mechitzah<\/span><\/em>,<\/span>
\n<\/span>That we may love<\/span><\/p>\n

Like wheat in a field before the reaping,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Like citrus trees in an orchard before the harvest,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Like grapes in a vineyard before the vintage,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Like a <\/span>Hasidic niggun<\/em> <\/span>creating yet another song.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":93326,"id":93326,"title":"pro30-man woman couple
