Inspiring the nation’s leaders, Rabbi Balkany addresses the governors of America.

Our Father in Heaven!

It was in the deep darkness of night when the beacon on the hill flickered, its beam of guidance wavering. Yet we were not left to stumble on the path of progress. For it was at that moment that we noticed the brilliant radiance cast by the lamps that glowed closer to home. Through Your providence and blessing, men and women of honor have been placed at the helm of each state. From the majestic forests of Oregon, through Louisiana’s mysterious Bayou, and up to the snowy peaks of Vermont, our governors are rudders against the tide of confusion ever guiding us to brighter shores. Oh G-d we pray to you for an out pouring of blessing. Fill the vessel of need created by the stature of their noble tasks. Be their beacon through the night. Help them guide the ship of the people to harbors of safety, prosperity and hope.

Rabbi Milton Balkany, quoted here addressing and blessing the great assembly of governors of the United States of America.
