A Prayer for Syria by Rabbi Rachel Barenblat Shekhinah, in Whose womb creation is nurtured: when your children are slaughtered you weep. Bring peace beneath Your fierce embrace to Syria. Let a new image of the world be born in which American Jews pray for Syrians, who pray for Israelis, who pray for Palestinians, who pray even for American Jews. Fill the hearts of the insurgents with Your compassion so that when the regime comes to its end no one seeks the harsh justice of retaliation. Awaken conscience in the Syrian government and spark their dormant mercy. And for us: help us to wield our power in service of good and strengthen our resolve not to turn away. We bless You, Source of Mercy. Bring wholeness to this broken creation. And let us say: Amen.
