Original Daily minyan reading
For the sounding of the Shofar in Elul
September 4, 2022
With each sound in the world,
Creator of the Universe,
You call us to honor all that you have made
So that nature and every living thing
Will endure.
When we encounter brokenness in the environment
And lament lingering conflict
in relations between people and nations
You challenge us to engender cooperation
And to become peacemakers and peacekeepers.
When we sense warning signs in our souls
That tell us we have lost our way
From who we truly want to be
Lead us back to our true selves
So that we can stand with confidence and contentment
Once again.
And when we listen to the reminders
outside and inside of us
And respond with determination
And a willingness to change,
May You accompany us along our life’s journey
And may your Oneness inspire us to hear and to hope.
