Long ago, God spoke to Abraham.
Lech Lecha: “Go
forth to the land that I will show you.”
On this November day, our country begins a new chapter.
These past few months have been filled with vitriol and
anger.
To no one’s surprise, our country is deeply divided.
We are fearful and nervous about the future.
We are filled with anger,
scared of our differences,
distrustful of the other.
God told Abraham:
“I will make of you a great nation,
and I will bless you.”
As our country struggles, we hope for a better tomorrow.
Only by coming together, can we make our country great.
Only by caring for all, can we be blessed.
May our leaders guide us with wisdom and forbearance,
for the betterment of the country, not for themselves.
May we not remain silent to injustice and inequality.
May we speak out for the orphan, the widow, and the
stranger.
On this November day,
as we journey forth,
on the next chapter of our country’s story,
on the next chapter of our country’s story,
may hatred be lessened,
compassion expanded,
and love overflow, everywhere.
