We think of the covenant of the Jewish people with their God as being based in a list of negative commandments: Thou Shalt Not…. But even those Ten Commandments start with an affirmative: “I am the Lord your God.”
What commandment do you hold sacred?
My relationship to my Creator is one of obligation. By understanding as well as I can the suggestions from sources available to me, I think that I should follow what I consider the RIGHT way to live. These sources contain both “DOs” and “DON’Ts”. A commandment that I feel strongly about is “to treat others with dignity”: another commandment I also feel strongly about is “you should not kill”.
I expect that I will always try to follow these guidelines.
