Rabbi Stephen Leon, Congregation B'nai Zion, El Paso, Texas, House prayer, July 22, 2009
Rabbi transcript: O Lord, ``This is the day that God has made, on it may we rejoice.'' These words from the Book of Psalms [[Psalms 118:24]] reflect the thoughts that are in my heart on this glorious day. Imagine if every person each day would arise and thank God for one more day of life, for one more precious moment to make a difference for good in this world. How fortunate I feel to live in this blessed country of America where a rabbi from El Paso, Texas, is given the opportunity to offer a prayer before this historic assembly which represents the highest ideals of democracy. May each of us here realize what awesome moments God gives us each day, and may we in partnership with the Almighty help speed that day when every person in the world will be privileged to live in peace and freedom. Let us say, Amen.
Rep. Reyes transcript:
Madam Speaker, it is a real honor and privilege to have Rabbi Leon here this morning in this great people's House. I want to especially welcome not just the rabbi but members of his family that are here. I know that back in my district, back in El Paso, people have gotten up extra early to see the rabbi give our opening prayer. It's a real honor and a real privilege and pleasure.
