“May the One who graces each person with knowledge… bless and protect the voters of this land”
A prayer for the 2016 presidential election
Oh G-d, give us the strength and wisdom to make it through this campaign season
After Election Day / will our voices still be seething? / will our minds still be heaving?
“We give thanks: for free and fair elections, for the 15th Amendment, for the 19th Amendment, for the Voting Rights Act…”
A blessing expressing gratitude for the right to vote
Originally written for Human Rights Shabbat, this prayer seeks to capture the hope that the social justice teachings of Torah, and the ethical impulses they inspire, will be mirrored in the actions of our governments on all levels.
