Hello world! – Modim

Imagine starting each day thinking, “Hello world! Here I am again!”

Jewish tradition has a prayer for that: each morning when we wake, the first words on our lips are:

מוֹדֶה אֲנִי לְפָנֶֽיךָ, מֶֽלֶךְ חַי וְקַיָּם
שֶׁהֶחֱזַֽרְתָּ בִּי נִשְׁמָתִי בְּחֶמְלָה, רַבָּה אֱמוּנָתֶֽךָ

“I am thankful before You, living and enduring Source of all life; You have graciously restored my soul, great is Your faith in me”

Each day is a new opportunity to live and speak our truth, to be grateful, to work for a more peaceful world.
