A Prayer For Those Of The Jewish Faith
And For All Their Friends

 

For the first time in history, we now have a Jewish Vice Presidential candidate. No matter what party we belong to or for whom we vote or even if we live in a country which is not involved in the US election. As our world broadens and as we understand and practice tolerance, we must all learn to appreciate each other's faith. The following was sent to me by a colleague, Josh Fendel. I thought it appropriate to share with you.

This night as the New Year begins,
We come together as a community;
Yet each of us is strangely solitary.

Each of us comes here with special hopes and dreams;
Each of us bears our own worries and concerns.

Each of us has a story no one else can tell;
Each of us brings praise no one else can offer.

Each of us feels joy no one else can share;
Each of us has regrets that others cannot know.

And so, at this sacred time, we pray:
If we are weary, may we find strength;
If we are discouraged, may we find hope.

If we have forgotten how to share, may we teach each other and learn together.
If we have been careless with one another, may we seek forgiveness.

If our hearts have been chilled by indifference,
May we be warmed by renewed purpose,
inspired by the spirit of this holy night.

By Rabbi Sidney Greenberg.
