Hanukkah begins

Prayer

Almighty G-d,

Hanukkah reminds us that it is a great gift to be able to worship you in freedom. May we who are so fortunate as to enjoy this blessing be more mindful of those who suffer for their religious convictions. Let us pray urgently for them and do what we can to bring more of your liberating peace and shalom into the world. We pray this in your name, as one human family. Amen.

Call to Action

Be conscientious today about what religious freedom means to me. How am I being responsible with this incredible gift and how am I helping to protect and promote it in the lives of others?
