Eternal God,
Sustainer of our lives,
The Creator who has fashioned
our world and all existence,
help us, like You, to be
builders
and contributors
to the gathering places
of our community.
May we be like the Israelites,
who responded to the call to
bring
gifts for the construction of
the
ancient Tabernacle.
The Torah says that they were
people
ASHER NADVAH RUCHO
who had given themselves a
willing spirit
and people
ASHER N’SAO LIBO
who had lifted their hearts
and minds
by donating the raw materials
that would become a meeting
place
between You and the community
and a site that the people
would associate with
holiness and with Your
ongoing presence.
Help us to be builders of
community
who encourage participation,
who inspire a willing spirit
through respect and friendship,
who lift our hearts whenever
we renew our commitment
to the well-being of our
congregation.
Bless this time we spend
together today to remember the past
and to honor the present
so that we can dedicate
ourselves to guaranteeing a bright future
for us, our children, and the
generations to come.
