Letter from Rabbi Levine on October 29, 2012
Dear Members and Friends,
We hope that you and your loved ones are warm and dry as the eye of the storm approaches our beloved city. At this hour, many of us have relocated to higher ground from our homes in Zone A. We’ve checked in with our elderly members and our friends at the Hallmark and all have been relocated safely. Our Torah has been lovingly sealed in plastic and is on the 7th floor of our offices behind closed doors.
We’re mobilizing a volunteer team to work with other agencies to be ready for the clean up effort in Lower Manhattan later this week. If you would like to know how you can be involved, OR, if you personally need support, please respond to this email and we will keep in close touch with you.
For now, we share with you this prayerful word:
“Eternal One of heaven and earth, Source of All, as Hurricane Sandy approaches, a tribute to the force of Your creation, Your power and Your might, we wonder silently what chaos will blow with the wind? What destruction will strike? Who will suffer? Who will be secure? And we pray for peace.
El Na, of mystery and awe, grant our friends, neighbors, and loved ones safety as this tempest engulfs us. Protect us, shield us, guard us. Grant peace of mind to those in fear; food, clothing, warmth and shelter to those in need. Bless our leaders and rescue workers with the tools, wisdom, and skills they need to protect us.
God of awe and wonder, our Rock and our Refuge, gather us under the shelter of Your peace and watch us through the night, for comfort, for security and for well being so that we may serve You in love. Amen”
My prayers are with you and your families,
Darren
