Ten Commandments

The first commandment*
“I am Adonai your G-d”
But it’s more than that

Our G-d redeemed us
From Egyptian slavery
We can’t forget this

Because in large part
Our relationship with G-d
Is based on this act


[*The first commandment can be found in Exodus 20:2 "I am Adonai your G-d, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery"]


The Ten Commandments
Repeated in this portion
But with some changes

Here, “observe” Shabbat
Before, it was “remember”
Two ways to “keep” it?
