A prayer for the new month

​Rabbi Maurice Harris, Associate Director for Thriving Communities and Israel Affairs Specialist, shares a powerful message for this moment.

“Especially on Yom Kippur — we are singing for our lives in community.”

“May we enrich our lives, our relationships, and our days for higher good, for Tikkun Olam, and healing…”

“So now You’re headed out-of-town, like some will-o’-the-wisp / to locate some new folks, perhaps, and begin In the beginning, all over again…”

“Return is always possible.”

“…help us have mercy on ourselves; and renew our lives so that we may build on the work we have begun.”

“May my past deeds, / The best and worst of me / Bring me back to the Wholeness…”

“Where else, But in the love, The shalom That is HaShem, Can I find my comfort?”
