The Temple, Congregation B’nai Jehudah

Original reading

November 5, 2024


Creator of the Universe, 

Source of wisdom, reservoir of strength,

How do You want us to see one another? 

If it is with Your sight, 

It must be that we should recognize

That a touch of Your spirit resides in each of us

And, because of that, we must act as if 

We are Your partners in preserving this world. 

It must be that we should acknowledge Your presence 

In the eyes and souls of other people,

Whether neighbor or stranger, 

So that we would know that if we denigrate anyone, 

We are diminishing You, 

And so that if we support our neighbors on this planet

 with respect, with compassion, and with love, 

We are raising You up through raising them up. 

Because You have fashioned us in Your image, 

Every day, may we speak as if our voice is Yours.

May we reach out as if our hands are Yours.

May we bask in the light of Your Oneness 

So that we will truly experience 

fulfillment, joy and peace

Which all comes from You.
