INVOCATION

REPRESENTATIVE PETER L. LEWISS

In the Jewish tradition, we are commanded to remember (zachor) and not to forget (lo tishkach). Today is Yom HaShoah, the Day of Holocaust Remembrance. On this solemn occasion, 56 years after the end of World War II:

We shall never forget those who perished.

We shall never forget those who saved even a single life. As it is written in the Talmud: "He who saves one life has saved the world."

We shall never forget the importance of speaking out against intolerance, whenever and wherever it occurs.

We shall never forget the inextricable link among democracy, the rule of law, and protection of human rights.

We shall never forget the age old prophetic vision of a world of justice, harmony and peace.

And we shall never forget that each of us, in ways large and small, can help bring us closer to the realization of that prophetic vision.

TRANSMITTED TO THE GOVERNOR
