Labor Day was first celebrated 126 years ago as a day to celebrate the working person, to recognize their labors as important for all of society.
What has made our nation great is not the work of the few, but the work of the many. It has been because of all those who have brought the toil of their hands, the labor of their hearts, their creative spirit, and offered it up for our collective good, so that our nation, and our state, could flourish.
May the Holy One grant us all the ability to find meaning in our daily work, and enable our labors to bring blessings to the world we live in. May this be God`s will--AMEN.
