Rabbi Warren Stone, Temple Emanuel, Kensington, MD, July 11, 1996, House prayer
Rabbi transcript:
Distinguished leaders of our country, why do we pray? We pray because we need to look beyond ourselves, to seek guidance in the One beyond all time and space. In a time of indirection, prayer can give us vision and hope. In a time of conflict and injustice, prayer can help us act with courage. God, may we shed our veils of defense to uncover a truth deep within ourselves. Our time on Earth is short; we are like a flower that will fade, a cloud passing by, like dust floating on the wind, a dream soon forgotten. And yet, while here so briefly, may we never forget that we have the capacity for a lasting greatness. With our lives we can make a profound difference in the lives of others. We, created in the Divine Image, can uplift the human spirit. That is how we should be remembered. Help us Lord to choose this path.
Rep. Morella transcript:
Mr. Speaker, I have the pleasure of welcoming Rabbi Warren Stone to the House this morning. Rabbi Stone has been the spiritual leader at Temple Emanuel Synagogue in Kensington, MD for the past 10 years. His tenure at Temple Emanuel has been characterized by growth in membership and community involvement. Under Rabbi Stone's leadership, members of the congregation volunteer their services to the community, visiting the elderly, feeding the hungry, and helping at local shelters for battered women and for the homeless. Rabbi Stone is a staunch environmentalist, and often weaves into his sermons messages about the importance of protecting our natural resources and maintaining a safe and healthy environment. He is an advocate for Israel and for human rights. Rabbi Stone has distinguished himself with an impressive record of dedicated service to both Temple Emanuel and the Montgomery County community. I am honored that he delivered the invocation on the House floor this morning, and I am proud to represent Rabbi Stone and the congregation of Temple Emanuel Synagogue in Congress.
