Light, Gladness, Joy and Honor - Original reading for March 15, 2022 daily virtual minyan for The Temple, Congregation B’nai Jehudah, Overland Park, KS


Eternal One, 

As the Jews of Persia, 

Once they were saved from the designs of an evil leader, 

Knew light, gladness, joy and honor, 

May we bask in the light of Your presence 

Shining upon us. 

May we find gladness even in routine moments of each day. 

May we derive joy from study, conversation, and building sacred community, 

And may we remember that we gain honor for ourselves 

When we honor others 

With respect, support, encouragement, 

And even love. 

Empower us to discover the light, gladness, joy and honor

That can suffuse our souls

When we acknowledge that we are reflections 

of your image and spirit

Whenever we, in many voices and a single voice, 

proclaim You One.
