Prayer was offered by:
Senate Chaplain Rabbi Mona Alfi

We live in a fast paced world, offering a constant barrage of challenges.
H.G. Wells once advised: “Adapt or perish, now as ever, is Nature’s inexorable imperative.”

“Adapt” does not mean that we need to create something completely anew, rather it means that we can revisit past decisions while we address the future with daring new ideas.

“Adapt or perish” – What is demanded of us is action. Nature requires us to respond to the world that confronts us with creative thinking, and at times the physical stamina to endure the long hours of work that are often required until a solution is found.

May the Holy One of Blessing grant us the ability to see our challenges as opportunities, and to look at old situations with fresh eyes and new ideas. May this be God’s will. AMEN
