Almighty G-d, Master of the Universe, I stand before you, in prayer. Jewish people all around the world, are preparing to celebrate the joyous festival of Purim this Saturday night and Sunday, commemorating the divinely orchestrated salvation of the Jewish people in the ancient Persian empire from Haman's plot to annihilate the Jews of his time. His plans were foiled thanks to the heroic leadership of Queen Esther and Mordechai. Today as so many in the world are reeling from pain and suffering, and my brothers and sisters in the Holy Land are in the midst of a terrible war in the aftermath of the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust, I turn to you in the words of King David, Psalm 123: ???? ?????? ???? ????? ?? ???? ?????? ?????. ???? ?? ???? ?? ?? ????? ???? 2024-03-20 House Journal Page 1862 A song of ascents, to you have I lifted my eyes, you who are enthroned in heaven. Be gracious to us, Lord, be gracious to us, for we have been surfeited with humiliation. May you, Almighty G-d, grant the members of the Alaska State House of Representatives wisdom and understanding that the ultimate way to bring true healing to our world is by embodying the universal values of the Seven Commandments issued to Noah after the great flood, as transmitted by G-d through Moses on Mount Sinai, the foremost of which is not to commit murder. Almighty G-d, I beseech you to bless this on this group of individuals assembled here today to fulfil one of your seven commandments to govern by just laws. And in the merit of the global spiritual giant and leader, your servant, the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, whose 122nd birthday will be celebrated on the 11th day of Nissan, Friday, April 19th. In 1978, the US Congress and President established the Rebbe's birthday as Education and Sharing Day in recognition of the Rebbe's relentless campaign to bring the awareness of the importance to educate our youth about these ethical values of the Seven Noahide Laws as the basis for a just and compassionate society. Like Queen Esther and Mordechai in their times, the Rebbe's timeless leadership and teachings brings healing and redemption to the world. Almighty G-d, may it be in the merit of realizing the Rebbe's vision for humanity that we speedily see the fulfillment of Isaiah's promise, nation shall not lift the sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. With the coming of Moshiach speedily in our days, Amen! The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Carpenter. CERTIFICATION OF THE JOURNAL Representative Saddler moved and asked unanimous consent that the journal for the 63rd and 64th legislative days be approved as certified by the Chief Clerk.
