Whether you ran in here today on little feet, or ambled, or strolled, or rolled in, you are welcome here.
Whether you lean to the right or to the left, or like it somewhere in the middle; whether you are a believer or a questioner, or a questioning believer, you are welcome to this makom shalom, this place of peace, joy, and hope, Congregation P’nai Tikvah…”
(Based on a greeting used by Rev. Kevin Tarsa, shared by Rabbi Chava Bahle, and further refined by Rabbi Yocheved Mintz)

Community Prayer
As uncertainty drags on
We feel like fiddlers on a roof
when life seems so uncertain,
And yet there’s so much life to live
Before the final curtain.
Please keep us well and keep us safe
And guide us in Your ways;
And give us hope to persevere
That we may fill our days
With acts of kindness, acts of joy,
Compassion, wisdom, too;
Then we can meet the challenges
—and give our thanks to You.
Amein
