In these most challenging of times, may this parable from Jewish tradition provide inspiration and guidance to you, the distinguished Senators of our wonder-filled country. A man, wandering lost in a dark forest for several days, finally encounters another. He calls out: ``Brother, show me the way out of here.'' The man replies: ``Brother, I too am lost. I can only tell you this: the paths I have tried to get out of this forest have led me nowhere. They have only led me astray. Here, take hold of my hand, and let us search for a way out of this dark place together.'' ``And so it is with us,'' the author of the parable concludes. ``When we go our separate ways, we may go astray. Let us join hands and look for the path out of the darkness together.'' [[Hasidic tale. Rabbi Hayim of Tzanz]] Dear God, inspire those gathered in this historic chamber to walk on the path of freedom, respect, and solidarity together into the light of a sun-filled day. Imbue them with Your wise guidance, tremendous strength, and awesome courage. Together may we better pursue the high ideals of liberty, justice, and equality for all upon which this, our great Nation, is founded. Lift up Thy countenance upon us, and grant us Thy most precious of blessings, the gift of shalom, balance, and peace. [[Numbers 6:26]] Amen.
