We are taught in the book of Genesis that all of humanity descends from a single person. There are those who say that Holy One did this so that no person could say “my father is greater than your father.” By this, we are taught that we are all brothers and sisters, part of the same human family, with a shared destiny and shared responsibility for one another.
May we be ever mindful of all that binds us, finding compassion in our hearts for all people, and treating each other with dignity and respect.
May this be God’s will.—AMEN.
