Once again Rabbi Milton Balkany sings the praises of great men leading the United States of America with integrity, bravery and wisdom.
Our Father in Heaven,
We are assembled in your presence, as we welcome the President and Vice President of these blessed United States. We pray that on the wings of so valiant an election victory, may the President and Vice President soar even higher into most valued vistas of respect, compassion and peace.
As we are on a threshold of a new era, we feel certain that they shall be leaders who make an indelible imprint on lives and history. For they execute their duties with a dedication that may be compared to burning lenses that intensely concentrate all elements of being into one fiery purpose. Marching toward a goal and assuming a purpose may not free from struggle, but it kindles a dynamic tempo which motivates the march to self-fulfillment.
