  1. YouTube: "Hir" Poem about trangsgendered youth

This gave me goosebumps.

  1. Shachar Avakeshcha

"This poem was written by the great poet and philosopher Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirol during the 11th century. The Piyut opens with a statement of time - the dawn. This leads into a description of the light as a differentiator, creating and renewing things, giving them their form and volume. At this hour, daybreak, the poet chooses to request an audience with his God, between the uncertainty of the night and the fullness of the dawn. The poet is searching for the light that will clarify, explain, and differentiate the things as God did during the creation of the world."
