Common Ground - a prayer for primary Election Day and for building community - Daily Minyan Reading - August 6, 2024

Facebook Live Daily Minyan Original Reading 

The Temple, Congregation B’nai Jehudah

August 6, 2024


Eternal One, 

Soul of the Universe,

Binder of the human family 

Into communal partnership, 

Reveal for us the light of wisdom 

That is expressed in words and deeds

As we seek to enhance the well-being of every person. 

Build for us a robust foundation of understanding

Capable of overcoming division 

And fostering connections

Based in compassion, empathy, and a desire to

Work together in a cooperative spirit. 

Sharpen our intellect and discernment 

So that we will, in our conversations with our neighbors, 

Find common ground that we never knew existed

That will direct us to identify values to live by

That we already share

And to discover new ways to celebrate both 

Our diversity of experience

And the similar challenges that we face every day.

May Your light and Your truth be a source of help

As we seek to bask in Your presence and Your Oneness.
