Earth Etude for 13 Elul

On this day of national attention, our prayers and actions for peace go to all those affected by the events of September 11, 2001, and with them go our deepest hopes for lasting peace, human and ecological, among us all.

Blessed are You, Holy One, Who spreads the shelter of peace upon us, upon all of the people of Israel and Palestine, upon Jerusalem, upon all warring individuals, peoples or nations, and upon all the creatures of this earth.

- from Ma’yan Tikvah – A Wellspring of Hope
