Rabbi Mark Schiftan, The Temple: Congregation Ohabai Sholom,
Nashville, Tennessee, offered the following prayer: God bless this land and all its inhabitants, this land built on foundations we may call our own, pledged to law and freedom, to equality and harmony, haven for the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. We and you who lead us are a nation of immigrants. Each of us, all of us, are here because of the individually and mutually inspired hopes and dreams of those who came before us, those who often fled persecution to find safe haven on this Nation's shores for them and for future generations that follow them, including each and every one of us. More than any other instruction in the Bible is the sacred reminder to embrace the stranger, to love the newcomer as much or even more than the native born. May we, may you who lead us, do just that.
Help us, O God, to fulfill the promise of America. May we and you who
lead us be true to this land and its traditions. Renew in all of us a
zeal for justice, tempered always with mercy. Awaken within us
compassion so we may enter upon the future with restored vision and
dedicated afresh to a proud destiny for all.
Amen.
