Blessing before Going to Sleep

by Marcia Falk
September 12, 1995

Sleep descending,

on my lids,

on my limbs,

I call to mind

the gifts

of the day—

the gift

of this day—

and give thanks.

Independent, jewish & frankly feminist

Since 1976, Lilith magazine charts Jewish women’s lives with exuberance, rigor, affection, subversion and style.
