Rabbi Stuart Weinblatt, president, Washington Board of Rabbis, Potomac, MD, offered the following prayer:
The prayer I humbly offer to You, dear G-d, on behalf of the leaders of this great Nation, and in this hallowed assembly is one of thanks.
We thank You for the many blessings You have bestowed upon this land, and its people; for the noble goals of our Founding Fathers, and for living in a country with elected Representatives devoted to bringing those ideals and the promise of that vision into reality. For abundant resources and wealth, for unprecedented intellectual greatness and achievements, we are ever appreciative.
In that spirit, we pray, for the ability to share the precious gifts of life and liberty, of freedom and equality.
Help us to conserve and preserve our resources for the benefit of future generations. Help us to use our pros-perity for the betterment of all. Help us to use the gifts of wisdom and the
G-d-given talents of our people with prudence.
Bless us with the strength and desire to strive to create Your kingdom here on Earth. In that context, we pray that the elected Representatives of our people in whom we have placed our sacred trust shall be guided by wisdom and compassion, by truth and justice.
As the Psalmist recognized, "Truly Your majestic presence fills the whole Earth." For as Jacob exclaimed, "How full of awe is this place. Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not."
