The Indianapolis Jewish Community Relations Council has released its “Statement re: Charlottesville and Condemnation of Nazism and White Supremacy”.
We share that statement here.
‘The blights of society take precedence over the mysteries of heaven’
Even though I am a Reform Jew, I am drawn to a more orthodox morning prayer: I give thanks to You, Everlasting King, that You have returned to me my soul with compassion. Great is Your faithfulness.
Intellectually, of course, I know that does not happen. But spiritually, for me, that prayer acknowledges my daily return to God.
I believe that within the soul resides our yearning for social justice. And every morning, I can use that prayer to recommit to lending my voice, if given the opportunity, to someone whom society has made voice-less.
