AMIDAH We cannot merely pray to You, O God, to end war; For we know that You have made the world in a way that humans must find their own path to peace within themselves and with their neighbor. We cannot merely pray to You, O God, to end starvation; For You have already given us the resources with which to feed the entire world, If we could only use them wisely. We cannot merely pray to You, O God, To root out prejudice; For you have already given us eyes With which to see the good in all people, if we would only use them rightly. We cannot merely pray to You, O God. To end despair; For you have already given us the power to clear away slums and to give hope, If we would only use our power justly. We cannot merely pray to You, O God, to end disease; For You have already given us great minds with which to search out cures and healings, If we would only use them constructively. Therefore, we pray to You instead, O God, for strength, determination, and will-power, to do, instead of just to pray; to become, instead of merely to wish. For your sake and ours, speedily and soon, that our land may be safe, And that our lives may be blessed. May the words that we pray, and the deeds that we do, be acceptable to You, O God, Our Rock and our Redeemer.

Hinei Ma Tov
cg«© i¨ m©B mig¦ `© za« ¤W ¤ ,mir¨ ¦ P dnE © aFH dn© d¥Pd¦ Hine ma tov uma na yim shevet achim gam yachad.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for families to dwell together in unity.
Responsive Reading:
We have come together as a congregation, mindful that each of us is an individual, with special hopes and dreams, with personal worries and concerns.
Each of us has dreams no one else can utter. Each feels joy no one else can share and regrets which others cannot know. In this uniqueness of mind and personality, we are alone. And yet we are here together. United as a congregation, we find an atmosphere that stimulates awareness and motivation. In these surroundings of personal warmth, may we seek the strength that is within ourselves. If we are discouraged, may we seek hope. If we have been careless of time, may we re-assess our goals and priorities.
In the company of our family and friends, in the glowing spirit of Shabbat, may we find the inspiration to warm our hearts and revitalize our minds’ energies. Together, may we heighten our goals to achieve our own unique potential. 5

On The Sabbath There are days when we seek things for ourselves and measure failure by what we do not gain. On the Sabbath we seek not to acquire but to share. There are days when we exploit nature as if it were a horn of plenty that can never be exhausted. On the Sabbath we stand in wonder before the mystery of creation. There are days when we act as if we cared nothing for the rights of others. On the Sabbath we are reminded that justice is our duty and a better world our goal. Therefore we welcome Shabbat. Day of rest, day of wonder, day of peace.
Rabbi Janie - Maccabees and the Environment Aleinu The Aleinu is one of the most universal prayers. It attests to life. It voices Israel’s undying hope for the day when idolatry shall disappear, when human activities shall turn toward righteousness, when all humanity will be one body united in justice and love.

Bind them as a sign upon your hand; let them be symbols before your eyes; inscribe them on the doorposts of your house, and on your gates. Be mindful of My Mitzvot and do them; so shall you consecrate yourselves to your God. I am your Eternal God, who led you out of Egypt to be your God, I am your Eternal God.
