Earliest rabbi guest chaplain prayer on archived video.
HOUSE June 4, 1985. Rabbi Joshua 0. Haberman, Washington Hebrew Congregation, Washington, DC: Creator of all the world: Thou who hast turned dust into creatures of intelligence, how wondrous is Thy work, how mysterious 'Thy power which brings order out of chaos! Help us to create order in the affairs of man. Thou who hast set limits to the forces of nature to keep all things in marvelous balance, help us to cope with the forces of human nature. Help us distinguish clearly the line between right and wrong; between the interest of the few and the welfare of the many; between the instant gain of today and the larger, lasting good of future years. Lead us by Thy justice to enact just laws and by Thy mercy to lift up the fallen, feed the hungry, clothe the naked and bring healing to those who suffer. We thank Thee for all men and women who uphold the public trust with integrity and lead this Nation as faithful servants. May they keep America free, strong, and just. May the Lord grant strength unto His people. May the Lord bless His people with peace. Amen.
Rep Gilman: Mr. Speaker: I ask my colleagues to join me in welcoming Rabbi Joshua O. Haberman of Washington as our guest chaplain. Rabbi Haberman is a distinguished clergyman from the Washington region, where he served as senior rabbi of the Washington Hebrew Congregation for the past 16 years. Rabbi Haberman was born in Austria, began his studies at the University of Vienna, but was forced to continue his education following the Nazi invasion in the United States at the University of Cincinnati and the Hebrew College in Cincinnati. Rabbi Haberman has served congregations in Mobile Alabama, in Buffalo, New York, and in Trenton, New Jersey. He was awarded an honorary degree and doctor of divinity by the Hebrew Union College, and has has received numerous other awards as well. In addition to his work as a professor, an author, a lecturer, he’s long been a leader in interfaith activities. On behalf of my colleagues, I’m honored to welcome Rabbi Haberman to our chamber today, to thank him for his eloquent prayer, and to reiterate my appreciation for officiating at my recent marriage to Rita Gail.
