Counting Stars: A Blessing for Voting

by Trisha Arlin

Breath of the Universe,
This year the voting booth
Is the most important sukkahLit. hut or booth A temporary hut constructed outdoors for use during Sukkot, the autumn harvest festival. Many Jews observe the mitzvah of living in the Sukkah for the week of Sukkot, including taking their meals and sleeping in the Sukkah..
We look out from that open space
And count the stars.

Blessed be democracy,

However imperfect.

We will speak

And we will be heard

And we will not be interrupted.

Amen
