Prayer was offered by:
Senate Chaplain Rabbi Mona Alfi

William James, a pioneer of American psychology and a respected philosopher, taught that "the great use of a life is to spend it for something that outlasts it."
Each day we are given the opportunity to affect the world around us, to truly spend our lives in a way where we can create a legacy of meaning. This is the ultimate inheritance we will leave to future generations. While it might lack the tangibility of property or possession left in a will, it gives us a chance to allow our short time here to be felt throughout eternity.
May the Holy One view our work with favor and grant us the blessing of living a life rich in meaning and filled with purpose. May this be God`s will. AMEN
