	Almighty God, bestow Thy blessings and implore Thy divine guidance upon these representatives.
	Vouchsafe unto them wisdom equal to their strength, courage equal to their responsibilities so our Nation may lead the world in the advancement and fulfillment of human welfare.
	May ours be a land where none shall prey upon or exploit his fellow men, where bigotry and violence shall not be tolerated, where poverty be abolished, and all men live together as brothers.
	Gracious Sovereign, bless, guide, and guard the President and Vice President of the United States, Speaker and leaders of this House, and all associated with them, who labor zealously for the welfare of our Nation.
	Grant us peace in our hearts, peace with our God, and peace with our fellow men. Amen.

Additional Notes:

The views expressed in this work represent the views of their creator(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Open Siddur Project's developers, its diverse community of contributors, patrons, or institutional partners.
We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.
If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.

Support this work: The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture. If you like what you've found here, please help keep our project alive and online with your financial contribution.
