COVID-19 UPDATE
Our Health Committee update is as follows:
A Prayer for Peace
May we see the day when war and bloodshed cease,
when a great peace will embrace the whole world.
    Then nation will not threaten nation,
    and the human family will not again know war.
For all who live on earth shall realize
we have not come into being to hate or destroy.
We have come into being to praise, to labor, and to love.
    Compassionate God, bless the leaders of all nations
    With the power of compassion.
Fulfill the promise conveyed in Scripture:
I will bring peace to the land,
and you shall lie down and no one shall terrify you.
    I will rid the land of vicious beasts
    and it shall not be ravaged by war.
Let justice and righteousness flow like a mighty stream.
Let God’s peace fill the earth as the waters fill the sea.
And let us say: Amen.
Torah Service Prayer
Here is the new prayer we have created for our Torah service. Thank you to Elliot Finkelstein for the idea! Please join in from home.
____________________________________

Nishmat Kol Hai, Breath of Life
bless the people of this community
their families and their friends
here and at home.
 
HaShekhinah, Beloved One
bless our neighbors in this city
may we live in harmony
may we be proud of each other.
 
HaTzur, Protecting One
bless this country, its government,
all who strive for its welfare
all who risk themselves to protect it.
 
Elohei Avoteinu, God of our ancestors
bless the land of Israel
may it flourish in hope and in honor
spread over it a shelter of peace.
 
Ma’ayan Hayyenu, Wellspring of our lives,
bless the Jewish people
may we be ambassadors of our tradition
may we be spared from distress and shame.
 
Hamakom, All-present One
bless the world and all that is in it
help us defend it and preserve it
for the generations that will follow us.
 
May all this be so,
And we say,
Amen.
