For Our Sisters
For our sisters,
A dance of joy.
Sister, to have you is a blessing,
A gift of grace and love.
Your dignity is my shield,
Your compassion, my cloak,
Your wisdom, my guide,
Your laughter, my hope.
Your triumphs witness your endurance,
Your purpose
And your power.
You are my sister by birth,
My sister by choice,
My sister through heartache
And my sister through blessings.
G-d of sisterly devotion and warmth,
Bless our family with understanding
And our sisters with passion, prosperity and peace.
May their devotion inspire us to kindness and service.
Bless our days with moments together,
Celebrations of love and loss,
So that we may bring renewal and rejoicing into our lives
And into the world.
Blessed are You, G-d of sisters,
Who delights is sisterly love.

alden, i love this one ( and all of them ) it just dawned on me that it would be great if there were an easy way to click on something right here on the page of a particular prayer that one wants to share with someone that would send this whole page to them (this way not only would it be easier for the person but also better for you that your whole website and all the prayers would get shared)
Thanks, Tehilla. I’m glad you like it. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll look into it.
