Rabbi Arthur Schneier, Park East Synagogue, New York, NY, offered the following prayer:
You have delivered my soul from death. (Psalm 116).
You have saved me from the Holo- caust and, 43 years ago today, on May 8, 1947, You brought me to the land of freedom and opportunity, the Nation of immigrants. This year you have given me the privilege to preside over the centennial of my congregation, Park East Synagogue, a major spiritu- al center in New York.
God bless America that gave so many of us a new lease on life and re- mains the beacon of hope and faith for those deprived of human dignity and freedom, the home of churches and synagogues, where each one of us can worship freely and gain strength through moral values.
The ideology that sought to bury us is now on its death bed. And You, oh Lord, are very much alive· in the hearts of millions, who are hungry not only for food but yearn for spiritual sustenance. "In God we trust" is now proclaimed by nations of the velvet revolutions. The spirit of America has captured the hearts and minds of people throughout the world and, as they grope to find their way from totalitarianism to democracy-some- times impassioned by nationalism and ethnic strife-may we share with them the benefits of pluralism and tolerance and the blessing of unity in diversity.
God bless America • • • Stand beside her and guide her.
