Count the Stars: A Blessing For Voting

Breath of the Universe,

This year the voting booth,

Is the most important 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

Blessing For our Current Obligations to the Community

 Breath of Life

We welcome our obligations to the community 

To do our best 

To protect them

By getting vaccinated. 

It is an honor to be able to be of such service

With so little effort. 

And, 

We welcome our obligations to ourselves 

To do our best

To stay healthy 

By getting vaccinated. 

It is a relief to be able to help ourselves

With so little effort. 

We give thanks for these holy obligations.  

We are blessed by them. 

Amen
