Reading for The Temple, Congregation B’nai Jehudah Facebook Live Daily Minyan

September 8, 2022
In the seeming quiet of the approaching sunset,
There is a whisper that remains
From the first moments of creation
When darkness was flooded with light.
Where there was once silence,
The Universe began to offer its own voice
Embodied in our world in the gifts of nature
And in the possibility that we will use our God-given talents
To enhance the earth around us.
Darkness in the human soul
Needs enough illumination each day
To carry it through nights of uncertainty
When our brokenness calls for repair
And when our sadness cries out for healing.
Tomorrow’s dawn can rejuvenate our spirits
Like the sound of the Shofar in these days of Elul
So that we will recognize the opportunities before us
To return to our proper path
To seek peace within and without
And to be guided along our way
By treasured teachings
Prized values
And by the Source of Wisdom and Hope
That renews existence every day.
May we hear the first whispers of life
in the sounds
Of this season.
