                                 PRAYER

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Today's opening prayer will be offered by 
our guest Chaplain, a guest of Senator Mark Warner, Rabbi Israel 
Zoberman, Founding Rabbi of Congregation Beth Chaverim in Virginia 
Beach, VA.
  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Our one God of life's blessings, Who brings us together to be one 
family, gratefully united though gloriously diverse through the Divine 
commandments of loving-kindness. May the awesome Author of an 
enchanting yet endangered universe uplift our honored Senators with the 
essential twin gifts of freedom and responsibility, ever fulfilling the 
demanding American dream. At these crossroads of compelling challenge, 
may the Senators be reassured that each human life is a singular 
journey of promising purpose, that the Creator's divinity and human 
dignity are inseparably linked. May the Most High bless the Senators, 
the Nation, and humanity with Shalom's sacred healing, hope, and 
harmony.
  Recalling my early childhood in a Displaced Persons Camp in Germany's 
American Zone, and on my 40th anniversary in the rabbinic ministry in 
the most ecumenical Nation under Heaven, I am grateful. Amen.
