August 18, 2017 Rabbi Arnold E. Resnicoff, Retired Chaplain, United States Navy, Washington, D.C., offered the following prayer: Almighty God, we pray, reflect, or meditate in different ways but together ask Your blessing for this country that we love. We are far from perfect, but we have a perfect dream: liberty, justice--equality--for all. On this date, August 18, we made progress in the past. We ratified the 19th Amendment, tearing down the wall that blocked a woman's right to vote; did what we do best when we are at our best; made a moral right a legal right, enshrining liberty in law. This week we mourn the pain and death of neighbors--the clashes in the street, the shouted words of hate--attacks against the very dreams that remind us who and what we yearn to be. And so we pray with words of song: America, America, God mend thine every flaw, confirm thy soul in self-control, thy liberty in law. And let us say, Amen.
