Sixth Night of Chanukah
Creator of the Universe,
Author of Freedom,
These holy lights
Inspire us to sustain
The spirit of our ancestors
And the love of our heritage.
What miracles remain
For us to fashion for ourselves
With Your hand guiding us?
Preserving equality
Welcoming strangers
Providing shelter for people in need
Feeding the hungry among us, near and far
Generating healing of body and soul through care and expertise
Making peace possible through changing hearts and minds
Fostering unity of purpose when division seems inevitable
And maintaining our sense of wonder and amazement
When we witness a sunrise or gaze at a sunset,
When we turn our eyes to the sky to marvel at the moon and stars,
And when we see new possibilities within the flames
On our Chanukiah.
Blessed are You, Eternal One, who is present with us
As we kindle these lights.
