A Prayer for Going Back to School

colored pencils and shavings on a piece of papaer

 

Who is wise? One who learns from all people.” (Pirke Avot 4:1) 
 
New lunch box, multi-colored sharpies, a notebook 
tucked in a new backpack. 
A new outfit. 
You are ready. 
Off to school you go.  
We hope 
that this school year is great. 
That you ask good questions  
from anyone and everyone. 
That you learn much 
from your teachers, your parents, your friends. 
That you are kind and compassionate, 
that you are safe, 
that you make friends, 
That you become wise. 
May this be a great year.
