Luke Ford writes: From a speech Dennis Prager gave April 25 in Minneapolis to CUFI:
A minute into his talk, Dennis puts on his yarmulke to say a shehecheyanu.
Dennis: “I always get choked up when I do this. I make a little prayer to God that I will not cry at CUFI event.”
“The shehecheyanu prayer is — Blessed are you God, King of the universe, who has kept us alive and brought us to this moment.”
Finishing the blessing in Hebrew, Dennis removes his yarmulke and puts it in his pocket.
“It’s a powerful prayer. Jews say it only on special occasions.
“Nothing is as powerful as Jews and Christians working together.
“It’s thousands of years late, but it’s here.”
