Prayer was offered by:
Senate Chaplain Rabbi Mona Alfi

Margaret Deland, an American novelist from the turn of the 20th century, observed that "faith . . . is not the holding of certain dogmas; it is simply [the] openness and readiness of heart to believe any truth which God may show."

The purpose of faith is to open us up to the wonderful myriad of possibilities that our souls and minds might show us, not to close us off from all but what our eyes can see for themselves. With faith, the world becomes larger, and the possibilities-limitless.

May the Holy One allow us to be open to a vast world of ideas and may we be so blessed to be open to experience God`s truths in its numerous manifestations. May this be God`s will.-AMEN.
