We praise God, Ruler of the Universe, who sustains the world. With your love and compassion, we can sustain a community to provide bread for all. Thanks to You providing for us, we need never lack for food. We praise God, source of food for us all.

As it says in the Torah: When you have eaten and are satisfied, give praise to your God who has given you this good earth. We praise God for the earth and for its sustenance.

May the source of peace grant peace to us, to the Jewish people, and to the entire world. Amen.

As we give thanks, so must we acknowledge that we are forever the migrant, the stranger, and even the colonizer. As we look for safety from oppression, so must we stand against the oppression of others wherever we see it.

Hard as it may be to admit, sometimes we cause the oppression of others. We may not see harm we inflict until the people we hurt tell us about the impact of our actions. We may not see harm we inflict through inaction and failure to question the structures and institutions around us until we listen to the experiences of the people injured. We must listen to and acknowledge the truth of others’ experiences to limit the harm we are each capable of.
