U’vchein - And Therefore…

U’vchein - And Therefore-

A prayer that starts in the middle

The middle of the story we have been thrown into -

Therefore - Uvchein tein pachd’cha

We look around and somewhat audaciously ask

For the story to endure as it unfolds around us

Give us all the ability to feel awe at your creation

To see the handprint of the potter on the handle and to know you were there-

Therefore- Uvchein tein kavod

Let us share in just a little of what you are-

We want to be great

Not for glory but for a share in the covenanted purpose

Therefore- Uvchein tzadikim yiruv'yismachu,

Share with us delight in the hard fought delivery of justice -

Walk with us on the road towards light.
