Source of Light, On this Europe Day, we contemplate the rich tapestry of cultures, languages, and traditions that grace this continent. | |
Grant us the wisdom to cherish diversity, to embrace unity, and to celebrate the richness of our differences. | |
Guide our leaders to foster peace, understanding, and cooperation among nations, that together we may build a future of harmony and prosperity for all. | |
Bless our endeavors with resilience, empathy, and compassion, as we strive to create a world where justice and kindness reign supreme. | |
May the essence of unity and siblinghood infuse our souls, inspiring us to collaborate tirelessly for the advancement of all humanity. |
This prayer for Europe Day (9 May) was written by Rabbi Lior Bar-Ami and first published to his Facebook page on 9 May 2024. Europe Day commemorates the signing of the Schuman Declaration on 9 May 1950, an ambitious plan to secure long-term peace in post-war Europe that is considered the beginning of what is now the European Union.

- 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 volunteer contributors, or its 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.

The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-commercial, 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.
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
