There being no objection, it was so ordered. Today I have just a short prayer and just a few words to say beforehand. The Jews are thought of as, or called "The Chosen People." There is a lot of misunderstanding about "chosen for what or why" even among Jews. And if you look at the story that the Hebrew scriptures tell, it is a story of people starting in a place with no law, with no right and wrong. Then gradually as they become more aware of right and wrong, they are charged and the Jews are chosen to try to create, to help create a just society on this earth. And I think in that sense, all of us here are chosen. I think all people are chosen for that. Especially in a democracy, those of us who have been elected are chosen for that by the people we represent - and maybe of a higher imperative - and it is an honor and a burden and a privilege. So with that in mind: 2006-04-26 House Journal Page 3344 Baruch afta Adonai, eloheinu melekh ha-olam. Blessed art Thou, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with Your commandments. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Rokeberg.

There being no objection, it was so ordered.
