TEXT: (Gen 18:23-33) Abraham came forward and said “will You sweep away the innocent along with the guilty? What if there should be 50 innocent within the city; will You then wipe out the place and not forgive it for the sake of the innocent 50 who are in it? Far be it from you to do such a thing, to bring death upon the innocent as well as the guilty, so that innocent and guilty fare alike. Far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth deal justly?” and the Lord answered: “If I find within the city of Sodom 50 innocent ones, I will forgive the whole place for their sake.” Abraham spoke, saying, “Here I venture to speak to my Lord, I who am but dust and ashes: What if the 50 innocent should lack 5? Would you destroy the whole city for want of the 5?” and He answered, “I will not destroy if I find 45 there.” But he spoke to Him again, and said, “What if 40 should be found there?” and He answered, “I will not do it, for the sake of the 40.” And he said, “Let not my Lord be angry if I go on: what if 30 should be found there?” and He answered, “I will not do it if I find 30 there.” And he said, “I venture again to speak to my Lord: what if 20 should be found there?” And He answered, “I will not destroy, for the sake of the 20.” And he said, “Let not my Lord be angry if I speak but this last time: what if 10 should be found there?” and He answered, “I will not destroy, for the sake of the 10.” ------------------------- from Here I Am Live at Princeton University, Taplin Auditorium May 8, 2012 composed and directed by Lainie Fefferman performed by NEWSPEAK (Taylor Levine, electric guitar; Caleb Burhans, violin, voice; Rubin Kodheli, cello; Mellissa Hughes, voice; David T.

TEXT: (Gen 19:1-11) Two angels arrived in Sodom, in the evening, as Lot was sitting at the gate. When Lot saw them he rose to greet them and, bowing low with his face to the ground, he said: "Please my lords, turn aside to your servants house and spend the night." But they said: "No, we will spend the night in the square." But he urged them strongly, so they turned his way and entered his house. He prepared a feast for them and they ate. They had not yet lain down when the town's people, men of Sodom, young and old, gathered about the house. And they shouted to Lot: "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may lay with them!" So, Lot went out to them, to the entrance, shut the door behind him, and said: "I beg you my friends, do not commit such a wrong. Look, I have two daughters, who have not known a man. Let me bring them out to you and you may do to them as you please; but do not do anything to these men." But they said: "Stand back! This fellow Lot came here as a stranger, and already he acts the ruler! Now we will deal worse with you than with them!" And they pressed hard against the person of Lot and moved forward to break the door. But the angels stretched out their hands and pulled Lot into the house and shut the door. And the people outside, men of Sodom, young and old, they struck with a blinding light. ------------------------- from Here I Am Live at Princeton University, Taplin Auditorium May 8, 2012 composed and directed by Lainie Fefferman performed by NEWSPEAK (Taylor Levine, electric guitar; Caleb Burhans, violin, voice; Rubin Kodheli, cello; Mellissa Hughes, voice; David T.

TEXT: (Ex 32:19-28) Soon as Moses came near the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, he became enraged and he hurled both the tablets from his hands and shattered them at the foot of the mountain. He took the calf that they had made and burned it; he ground it to powder and strewed it upon all the water and so made the Israelites drink it. Moses saw that all the people were out of control since Aaron had let them get out of control so that they were a menace. So Moses stood up in the gate of the camp and said "Whoever is for the Lord come here." And so all Levites rallied to him: He said to them, "Thus says the Lord G-d of Israel: each of you put sword on thigh and go slay brother, neighbor and kin." The Levites, they all did as Moses had bidden and some three thousand of the people fell that day. And Moses said: "Dedicate yourselves to the Lord this day that he may bestow a blessing upon you, for each of you has been against son and brother." ------------------------- from Here I Am Live at Princeton University, Taplin Auditorium May 8, 2012 composed and directed by Lainie Fefferman performed by NEWSPEAK (Taylor Levine, electric guitar; Caleb Burhans, violin, voice; Rubin Kodheli, cello; Mellissa Hughes, voice; David T.
