I Pledge Allegiance to the Earth And to the Universal Spirit Which gives us Life; One Planet, Indivisible With Peace and Justice for Us All. | |
I Pledge to do my Best To uphold the Trust bestowed In the Gift of my Life; To care for Our Planet And our Atmosphere, To Respect and Honor All her Inhabitants, All People, Animals, Plants and Resources, To Create a Legacy For Our Children And Our Children’s Children In a World of Harmony and Love. | |
I Pledge Allegiance To the Universal Spirit, By whatever Name it may be called. I align my Life With the ongoing Process of Creation; To grow Myself with Care, To Act from My Own Integrity, To Be for Others How I would want them To Be for Me.[1] Cf. Leviticus 19:18. A/k/a, the “Golden Rule.” Also find, the corollary given in the name of Hillel the Elder in Talmud, Shabbat 31a.6. | |
Together May We carry this Vision Into our Hearts, Into our Daily Choices, And through Our Expanding Consciousness Within and Beyond Our Planet. |
This “Global Pledge of Allegiance” by Edna A. Meisner-Reitz was first published in The Quest, vol. 1, issue 1, Winter 1988/1989 (Theosophical Society of America), page 4.

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.
ויהי נעם אדני אלהינו עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננה עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננהו "May the pleasantness of אדֹני our elo’ah be upon us; may our handiwork be established for us — our handiwork, may it be established." –Psalms 90:17
