Passover begins

Reflection

“You achieve immortality not by building pyramids or statues, but by engraving your values on the hearts of your children, and they on theirs, so that our ancestors live on in us and we in our children, and so on until the end of time.” –Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks

Prayer

God of tomorrow,

Many people strive to leave their mark on the world. Some sign of their greatness that will stand the test of time. Yet you call us to convert this desire into selfless love and sacrifice, so that our legacy might be synonymous with the way we develop and empower those who come after us. May it be so. As our Jewish colleagues enter this holy season of Passover today, may we all to be more mindful of the way we are or are not engraving our values on the hearts of the young. Amen.

Call to Action

Whether I have children or not, how am I investing in the good of those who come after me? Consider my legacy in light of the call to serve others.
