The first words in the creation of the universe out of the unformed, void and dark earth were God’s “Let
there be light." Therein lies the hope and faith of Judaism and the obligation of our people: to make the
light of justice, compassion, and knowledge penetrate the darkness of our time till the prophecy be fulfilled
‘that wickedness vanish like smoke and the earth shall be filled with knowledge of God as the waters cover
the sea’ (Isaiah 11:9)
