Dear Lord, you came to this world not only as a man, but specifically as a Jewish man. I will never fully understand your words, your gestures, your actions unless I fully realize your Jewishness. It is becoming clearer to me every day that the Jews have much to teach me not only about the Old Testament and the Jewish religion, but also about you. Lord, I pray for the Jews. Give them peace and freedom after the many centuries of persecution and oppression; give them a safe home in Israel where they can come and go, dwell and work without fear; give their children the “Shalom” in its full sense of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. I pray especially that you give to the Jews the generosity of heart to keep forgiving us Christians for the cruelties and atrocities to which we have subjected them and their forefathers and foremothers.
Finally I pray that the Jews will see you more and more as one of their own: a brother, a rabbi, a teacher who honored and respected the Jewish law and who spoke in the tradition of the great prophets.
O Lord, deepen my love for your people. Amen.
