This opening b’rakhah before the Sh’ma acknowledges that we experience God, first of all, through witnessing the miracle of creation. Praying in the morning, we are asked to pay attention to the wonder of the dawn, of sunlight, and of a new day. In the liturgy, the break of dawn is then imagined as a chorus of song in which we join. This b’rakhah is adapted from a verse in Isaiah (45:7), which reads oseh shalom u-vorei ra, “who makes peace and creates evil.” The prophet insists that both good and evil come from the one God. But in the moment of prayer, we focus on all for which we can be thankful, beginning with the light that makes life possible; therefore, the ancient rabbis transformed this biblical verse and changed the ending to read “creating all.”" }, { "type": "Commentary", "text": "ALL הַכֹּל.
