Morning twilight

Morning twilight

The first light of the morning. The light near sunrise.

(Rabbi Yosi said: Let my portion be among those who pray at morning twilight. Rabbi Chiya bar Abba said in the name of Rabbi Yochanan: It is a commandment to pray with the morning twilight. Rabbi Zeira said: What is written (Psalms 89): 'They will fear You with the sun and before the moon throughout all generations' - Shabbat 26b. And likewise: 'With the morning twilight to the window, please come / and cling to me gently, / open well my collar, place your head upon my head / and so with me you shall cling' - H.N. Bialik 'With the morning twilight'. And likewise: 'Every evening between five and six / between the two evenings and a ball of fire / when gentle light descends blessed / upon clouds and crimson // when twilight penetrates into the eyes of men... / A sinking fire and the light melts / not knowing how the miracle will come / Many shadows from yesterday / are very long' - Mirit Shem Or 'Twilights'.)
