A week before local elections, a crowd of about 70 people crammed the living room of a Jerusalem home for a meeting with Sondos Alhoot, head of an Arab-Jewish slate for Jerusalem municipal council.

Since her first appearance on the Jerusalem political scene a few months ago, the 33-year-old Nazareth native has stirred interest not only among the city’s Palestinian residents but possibly even more among progressive Jewish voters.

“Alhoot in Arabic means ‘the whale,’ one that will swallow the right-wingers in Jerusalem,” she joked as she introduced herself to a mostly middle-aged audience, with a very significant Anglo presence.

Dieses wunderschöne Morgengebet habe ich neulich bei Elke vom Leben als Mensch-Blog gefunden:

Morgengebet:

Heute, an diesem Tag,
erinnere ich mich an mein Inneres Licht
und ruhe gelassen in meiner Mitte.
Ich lege diesen Tag in Gottes Hände.

Möge das, was an diesem Tag geschieht,
zu meinem Wohl, zum Wohle aller
und in vollkommener Übereinstimmung
mit dem Göttlichen Willen sein.

Möge dieser Tag heute
dem höchsten Wohle von uns allen dienen
und möge das, was ich heute geben kann,
dem Leben dienen.

Ich bitte Vater-Mutter GOTT,
mein Inneres Licht zu stärken!
So sei es!

Könnt ihr die wohltuende Wirkung dieser Worte spüren?

I found this beautiful morning prayer a few days ago on Elke’s „Leben als Mensch“ Blog (living as human being blog).

Morning prayer:

Today, on this day,
I remember my inner light
and rest calmly in my midst.
I place this day in God’s hands.

May what happens on this day
Be for my good, for the good of everyone
and in perfect agreement
with the Divine Will.

May this day today
serve the highest good for all of us
and may what I can give today,
serve life.

I ask Father-Mother GOD,
to strengthen my inner light!
So be it!

Can you feel the soothing effect of these words?
