Rabbi Sarah Lawson shares a new blessing to celebrate Black History Month

Rabbi Emily Aronson created this powerful new blessing based on Birkat Kohanim, the Priestly Benediction.

This prayer includes a version for someone coming out and for someone receiving them.

“Go to where you can pray. / Your prayers move before you…”

“May the windows of our prayers / move us into the world of vision…”

“Bring peace to the anger in the world…”

A new tikkun to add meaning to the traditional ritual.

“for us, / for the children, /  and for the children’s children…”
