With respect to the diverse religious beliefs of all Alaskans, I offer the following prayer: Yehudah Amichai, a famous Israeli poet once wrote: A [person] needs to love and to hate at the same moment, to laugh and cry with the same eyes, with the same hands to throw stones and to gather them… In a fragmented society, it is easy to fall into patterns of polarity, in which political conflict becomes not only the product of theological divide, but the theology itself. Amichai teaches that we do not have such a luxury. As human beings, we are called to both agitate and collaborate, centering the stories of those who lie between and beyond our conflicts to create meaningful and lasting change in our world. 2022-05-11 House Journal Page 2854 In the days to come, let us remember that love and hate are not mutually exclusive, and that the fastest way towards progress is by joining hands and marching together. In the Jewish tradition we say, Ken Yehi Ratzon, Let it Be So. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative McCarty. CERTIFICATION OF THE JOURNAL Representative Tuck moved and asked unanimous consent that the journal for the 113th legislative day be approved as certified by the Chief Clerk.
