Rabbi Howard Morrison

The Jews of Ukraine already know of so many horrors which have befallen them and their country. Now that Russia has begun to invade Ukraine, it is for us to pray for our Jewish brothers and sisters and all who dwell in the Ukraine.

Acts of Tzedaka and deeds of kindness are appropriate at all times, and especially when a nation is under siege. The history of the Jewish people knows this lesson all too well.

While the month of Adar is meant to be filled with joy, that can only be fulfilled when the world knows of a lasting peace.

Psalm 31 has been recommended in particular, but any Psalm, prayer, or sincere reflection from the heart is meaningful.

What follows is the Prayer for Peace, taken from our Shabbat service, to be recited at any time:

Sincerely,

Rabbi Howard Morrison
