Daily Minyan Prayer for The Temple, Congregation B’nai Jehudah
(On the 68th anniversary of the Brown v. Board Supreme Court decision for school desegregation, and after the tragic shootings in Buffalo, NY).

Eternal God,
Giver of light that provides us with clarity
For our eyes and for our minds and souls,
You have created us with the ability
To understand the meaning of creation.
The world and the universe
provide for us a constant model
of diversity, growth, expansion, and symmetry
That can we can, if we choose, reflect in how we act towards
Our fellow human beings.
There are those individuals who recognize
how all people are intricately connected
And how our ongoing cooperation
And our unending quest for mutual understanding and peace
Emulate Your blessings for us all.
There are others who, sadly, create barriers among
The inhabitants of our world,
Who believe that they can dictate which people truly deserve
Kindness, decency and compassion.
Teach us, Source of Wisdom and hope,
That Your Oneness encompasses us all
And that, to be like You,
It is Your Torah, Your instruction, founded upon love
That can guide us.
May that light of Torah seep into the depths of every human soul.
