Dead:
4,000 Americans;
Only God knows how many Iraqis

The Shalom Center encourages you to take two actions:
(1) Whatever your religious or spiritual community, to use this prayer for life and peace in the face of death and violence (based on the Jewish Mourners Kaddish) in concert with all who mourn this senseless bloodshed;
(2) To write the three candidates for President, demanding they themselves take swift action in the Senate to end this war. To do this, click to --

MOURNERS' KADDISH
IN TIME OF WAR & VIOLENCE
May Your Great Name, bearing all the names of all the beings in the universe, through our deeper awareness and our fuller action, lift Your Own Self to become still higher and more holy --
--- Throughout the world that You have offered us, a world of majestic peaceful order that gives life through time and through eternity ---- And let's say, Amein
So may the Great Name be blessed, through every Mystery and Mastery of every universe.
May Your Name be blessed and celebrated, Its beauty honored and raised high, may It be lifted and carried, may Its radiance be praised in all Its Holiness --- Blessed be!
Even though we cannot give You enough blessing, enough song, enough praise, enough consolation to match what we wish to lay before you -
And though we know that today there is no way to console You when among us some who bear Your Image in our being are slaughtering others who bear Your Image in our being ---
Still we beseech that from the unity of Your Great Name flow a great and joyful harmony and life for all of us. (Cong: Amein)
You who make harmony in the ultimate reaches of the universe, teach us to make harmony within ourselves, among ourselves -- and peace for all who dwell upon this planet. (Cong: Amein)
