Invocation - Board Meeting - January 16, 2020
Eternal God,
You who teach us paths of wisdom and righteousness,
Help us to truly distinguish between right and wrong.
As the prophet Amos declared to the people of Israel
That God would scrutinize their integrity
By placing a plumb line in their midst to evaluate their deeds,
Enable us to honestly assess
How much we are able to follow the standards
Of our tradition
For engendering respect,
For offering support,
For approaching one another with compassion,
For welcoming strangers,
For providing encouragement to those who selflessly and willingly serve our community,
For seeing Your face in the face of every human being
For preserving our world for the future,
For pursuing justice,
For advocating for freedom in our midst and for all people.
Open our eyes to see You by our side and in our midst
As we do the sacred work
Of sustaining, with warmth and with joy,
this Beit-El, this House of God, our holy community.
And we say Amen.
