House of Light
– in honor of Temple Beth Ohr's Fiftieth Anniversary
Like a tree that displays its rings
this place too marks its years
years of service years of caring
years of young and old years to live by
years that see us passing through
Like the Torah scroll ending and beginning
this place unrolls its dialogue with God
prayers through half a century
prayers for peace prayers of thanksgiving
prayers that guide our living
Like a lighthouse with its beacon
this place sheds eternal light
light of hope light of comfort
light of love light of God
light for sight and life beyond
Like a precious metal
this place glistens golden
golden opportunities golden knowledge
golden moments golden celebration
fifty golden years a monument to us
