Barukh sh’amar v’hayah ha’olam.

Blessed is the One who spoke and the world came into being. 

Blessed are the words of creation.

Blessed is the creation of a loving and just society.

Blessed is the society that honors human dignity.

Blessed are those who know the call of justice. 

And let us say: Amen.
