Get out the vote!

By Rabbi Yael Splansky.
Holy Blossom Temple is proud to open our doors as a voting station today.
There is a blessing for just about everything in Jewish life.  Consider this as you fulfill your civic duty today.
Baruch Shek’ra-anu
l’romeim goy bitzdakah, kakatuv:
“V’dirshu et sh’lom ha-ir…
v’hitpal’lu va-adah el Adonai,
ki vish’lomah yihyeh lachem shalom.”
Praised be the One who has called us to exalt our nation with righteousness, and taught us: “Seek the welfare of your community and pray on its behalf, so that all may share in its well-being” (Jeremiah 29:7).
