Original reading for the daily minyan of
The Temple, Congregation B’nai Jehudah,
Overland Park, Kansas
October 24, 2022
Loving Creator,
Compassionate guide for stars and souls
We praise You for rolling light away from darkness
And darkness from light.
How can we, in our own lives, dispel darkness
And allow the brightness of Your presence to shine through?
Your gift of Torah teaches us
To love our neighbors as ourselves,
To love the stranger,
To care for people in need and enable them to become self-supporting,
To speak the truth even when we find ourselves
in a morass of lies and deceit,
To refrain from carrying hatred inside of us,
To relinquish grudges that may lead us down a path of revenge
That we will long regret,
And to choose life and good over death and evil.
And when darkness seems to overtake us,
May we always find our way back to the light
And to the Oneness that is You
So that we can all become one again.
