''Blessed Eternal Master Whose dominion is
undivided and boundless, Master of this world
and all worlds, You are the King who reigns
over kings. In the introduction to this psalm
we see Hashem depicted as the universal
Creator, the one and only Divine Power. By
extension we view all of G!d's creations as
being a part of us, connected to us through
our one Father in heaven.
It is in this vein that we extend our thoughts
and prayers to the Emanuel AME Church
community and to the families of the victims
of the terrible tragedy that took place last
evening. For worshipers to be slain during a
prayer service is something that,
unfortunately, we as members of the Jewish
community are all too familiar with. We feel
the pain of the entire Charleston community
and, in the aftermath of this devastating act of
violence, we pledge to come closer together
and enhance the unity and brotherhood of all
of God's people.
When the prophet Isaiah speaks of the Temple
in Jerusalem and, by extension, of all of our
houses of worship, he proclaims that G!d's
house is a house of prayer for ALL nations
(Isaiah 56:7). The above Rabbi Nachman of
Breslov's prayer for peace, is a small measure
to express our desire for a future without
such a senseless acts of hatred. (R'.M.
Davies). Rabbi Arthur Segal's Jewish Spiritual
Renewal GREAT IS PEACE!!!
