The following prayer was composed by the students at Temple Beth El Religious School where my son is a student.
As our grandmother used to say... "from your lips to God's ears..."

Alivah... from your lips to God's ears. Happy New Year to all of our supporters and friends. Although you may not be of the Jewish Faith, this is a very special time of year when I pray for good health for all of those people who have touched my life in one way or another. And while I often ask for this gift in my prayers (because I believe good health is a gift and can never be taken for granted), for some reason my prayers become deeper as I sit in Temple and listen to the beautiful hymns and prayers from our Music Director, Bryan Zive. So... with this said, Happy New Year! May it be a healthy, sweet year for you and your loved ones.
