Sometimes the polarization and divisions just gets too overwhelming.
Also, the claim by a major political figure in the state state that there are values tied to the state, some of which I am sure depart from what I would consider important values, made that sense of division worse.
So, here is my prayer for the The Temple, Congregation B’nai Jehudah Daily minyan for April 4, 2022.
Daily Minyan Reading
Barechu to Shema
April, 4, 2022
God who rolls light from darkness,
And darkness from light,
Eternal Teacher, who blesses us with the light of Torah,
Guide us to shine our spirit of compassion and goodness
Into the darkness of the human soul
Which prevents the growth of understanding and cooperation
Among us.
Open our eyes to see each other as potential partners
where some see only adversaries,
Neighbors where some see only strangers,
Friends where some see only enemies.
As You have commanded us to listen to Your Word,
So may we truly hear one another
As we walk along the same path in this world of wonder.
Help us to be one as You are one.
