United States —⟶ tag: United States Sorted Chronologically (old to new). Sort most recent first? A prayer for the correction of the United States immigration policy in support of immigrants and open borders. . . . A litany of hoshanot for use in a ritual prayer circle march on the festival of Sukkot. . . . Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., alphabetic mesostic, eco-conscious, ecoḥasid, English vernacular prayer, הושענות hoshanot, mesostic, Northampton, United States Contributor(s): The Fourth of July is a day on which Americans celebrate liberty, equality under heaven, and freedom from tyranny and foreign rule. Thus it is an appropriate day to read Torah. This is a Torah reading (divided into three aliyot) and a Haftarah reading to be recited on the Fourth of July. . . . Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): This is a Torah reading (divided into three aliyot) and a Haftarah reading to be recited on Memorial Day or any local equivalent day to honor those who died for their nation. . . . An invocation by Rabbi Jill Jacobs, executive director of T’ruah, offered at the opening dinner of the Council on Foreign Relations annual Religion and Foreign Policy Workshop, June 2019. . . . Categories: Tags: 116th Congress, 21st century C.E., 45th President of the United States, 58th century A.M., democracy, English vernacular prayer, Immigration policy of Donald Trump, Trump administration family separation policy, צדק צדק תרדוף tsedeq tsedeq tirdof, United States, United States Immigration Policy Contributor(s): A prayer for the day after the US day of elections that all votes be counted. . . . A prayer for the United States, its leaders and government and its citizens — a personal response to things that were troubling me in the months before November’s election – in particular the level of divisiveness in our country, and what seemed to me to be a growing sense that it isn’t important to respect people we disagree with, and an ever more prevalent belief that we are entitled to decide for ourselves which rules to follow, and all that matters are own rights and our beliefs, not our responsibilities to one another. Inspired by the events of 2020 . . .

It’s not a prayer about winning or getting other people to see things our way, like some of the others I’ve seen. Whomever we support, we need to pray for strength for the next president, and for the whole country, to face what will be challenging times. . . .

The concluding partial berakhah (without its full preamble, so as to avoid a berakhah levatala) is traditionally stated upon seeing a king of a nation, so in a democratic regime it seems appropriate to adopt for the voters. . . . A prayer for collective and communal well-being with an emphasis on dismantling systems of oppression and repairing their harms. . . .

He writes, “Because of COVID this is the first Veterans Day in a long time I am not part of a ceremony — and I know that’s the situation for many fellow vets. So I wrote it yesterday to share today as a virtual prayer for Veterans Day 2020.” On 11 November 2022, Rabbi Resnicoff offered the expanded revision of this prayer as offered above at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC. . . .
