A Prayer for Peace in the Middle East




Broken-hearted wall






Two peoples, one land,
Three faiths, one root,
One earth, one mother,
One sky, one beginning, one future, one destiny,
One broken heart,
One God.
We pray to You:
Grant us a vision of unity.
May we see the many in the one and the one in the many.
May you, Life of All the Worlds, Source of All Amazing Differences
Help us to see clearly.
Guide us gently and firmly toward each other,
Toward peace.


Amen.


Prayer by Rabbi Sheila Weinberg
Jewish Community of Amherst, Amherst, MA
