A Special Prayer

As we begin our Seder,

We thank God

For the many gifts bestowed upon us.

Love is the most precious gift.

We pause for a moment to remember

Our loved ones who have sat

Around our tables in years past

But who join us tonight

In memory only. We miss their love

And their physical presence.

We feel them with us always

In our hearts because love

Knows no boundaries. We pray

That their souls are at peace

And that their memories

Shall always be a blessing.

Blessed is the Eternal G-d in whose

Hands are the souls of all the

Living and the spirits of all humanity.
