Rabbi Pinchus Ciment, Lubavitch of Arkansas, Little Rock, Arkansas,

offered the following prayer:

Almighty God, I begin my prayer with an act of charitable kindness.

Creator and master of His universe.

After the biblical story of the great flood in which You spared Noah

and his family, You gave guidance and instructions through them to all

of humanity. You taught how to lead a moral, ethical, and productive

life in the form of seven guiding principles, also known as the Seven

Noahide Laws.

These laws are found in the Bible in the Book of Genesis and its

sacred commentaries and include:

To worship You, not to blaspheme Your name, not to commit murder, not

to engage in illicit relationships, not to commit theft, not to be

cruel to any living creature, and for every society to be governed by

just laws that are based on the recognition and acknowledgment of You,

O God, as the sovereign ruler of all humankind and all nations.

Almighty God, bless the Members of this august body, the United

States House of Representatives, who convene to fulfill Your very

guidance to establish such just laws. Bless them with health, clarity,

wisdom, compassion, and good fellowship.

I beseech You, in the merit of the great leader and spiritual giant,

the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of

saintly and blessed memory, who came to these shores in 1941 and

described this country as a nation of kindness, and who passionately

shared the richness and importance of the said Seven Noahide Laws for

all to embrace, to please grant that the vision of our Nation for a

world imbued with peace and tranquility be the crowning achievements of

this mighty and awesome Chamber in our days.

And let us say, Ame
