On this first day of the Week of Prayer for World Peace<\/a>, Hazzan Harold Messinger and Caroline Friewald offer a Jewish prayer <\/span>to this international and interfaith call to peace. The intention of this global collaboration is <\/span>to encourage those seeking peace for all of humanity to expand our own practices of prayer <\/span>by embracing the prayers of other traditions. Our hope is that by <\/span>nurturing understanding, empathy, and harmony among diverse faith communities, we can stand grounded and united in our work for justice and peace. We pray together that we might act together.\u00a0
