Original readings for the daily evening minyan for The Temple, Congregation B’nai Jehudah (Overland Park, KS) on December 20, 2021
For Light and Torah:
Eternal God,
As darkness descends,
Reveal to us the light that can emerge
Within our souls,
Leading us to renew ourselves every day
And guiding us to contemplate life’s meaning
Each night.
May the gift of Torah
That you offer us in love
Be our beacon for wisdom and partnership
As we learn from one another
Recognizing that our mutual connections
Can unite us as one
So that we will be able to touch
Your Oneness and holiness.
For Freedom…and responsibility
God of Freedom,
You led the Israelites across the sea
So that they could leave slavery behind
And taste the sweetness of liberty
That would ultimately unleash their potential
To teach the world
About justice, kindness, compassion, healing and peace.
May our journey across the sea of challenge
Nurture within us a sense of responsibility for
Our personal and communal well-being
So that we will arrive in a place of promise and hope.
