We are not perfect, God. We have many faults. There are still poor, needy, and homeless Jews in the US, Israel, and other parts of the world because we are not taking care of one another. Many can’t afford Jewish school, summer camp, food, and clothing. Our pride and arrogance can be distasteful, and we cannot admit our mistakes or dependence on Your beneficence. We still disdain other Jews for not doing things the way we do. We spend too much, drink too much, and have internalized the materialism of this world. We have idols, something we hold sacred that are false and impermanent. Even though you warned us about it, we cozy up to power. We have become comfortable and enjoy being in Exile.
Let’s Settle This Now, God
