                                 PRAYER

  Rabbi Motty Berger, Aish HaTorah Yeshiva, Jerusalem, offered the 
following prayer:
  In a sorely troubled world, filled with all too much hatred, 
violence, and human misery, we pray to You, dear God, for divine 
guidance; such guidance is needed for all of us, in and out of 
government, as we work toward a better day for all mankind. We pray to 
You, our Father, who taught us to love our neighbors and to seek peace, 
to imbue us with both the wisdom and the will to apply Your teachings 
in relations between nations as well as between individuals. Let us 
reflect on the enormous power available to mankind, power which we may 
use for good or evil, to build or to destroy. It is ours to choose: 
life or death. May we be inspired by the prophetic message, ``Not by 
might, nor by power, but by My spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts,'' and 
thereby choose life. Amen.
