IKAR Rabbi Sharon Brous Offers Prayer at National Inaugural Prayer Service
Los Angeles IKAR Rabbi Sharon Brous was one of the faith leaders offering prayers to the new Presidential administration on Jan. 21.
The virtual interfaith service, hosted by the Washington National Cathedral, included prayers from several leaders from all religious backgrounds and performances by Patti LaBelle, Josh Groban, Donald Lawrence and Company and Detroit gospel group The Clark Sisters.
Brous spoke about the excitement of a new presidential term and the restoration of democracy.
“Give us strength, God, as we usher in the dawn of a new America, a justice-driven, multiracial democracy,” Brous said. “A new America, that lifts up the poor and protects those most vulnerable. Help us today to imagine a new America that leaves behind the fallacy of profit over people, and instead affirms that every one of us deserves to live in full dignity.”
