Eternal God,
How can we preserve what You have created?
How can we bring light to our nights, with calming and aspiring dreams, and increase the brightness and goodness of our days?
You have given us the ability to distinguish between what sustains life and what diminishes individual and collective survival.
You have enabled us to enhance our environment, but sometimes, we falter and follow a path that can inflict damage upon our world.
You have provided us with the creativity and commitment that can bring peace between people, but there are moments when conflict, even war, seem to be, for some, a preferred choice, with tragic results.
You have taught us, through examples of vision and leadership in the stories of our heritage, how we should assume responsibility for our own well-being and for that of our fellow human beings.
Author of liberty, Your Torah leads us to work for freedom that will be a blessing for everyone, not only for a privileged few.
Enlighten us, O God, to love our fellow human beings as ourselves
In all we say and do
So that Your Oneness will lead us to a renewed oneness among us.
