Rev Charlie Eastman read Maya Angelou's Inaugural Poem which is actually called "On the Pulse of the Morning"

While the Inaugural Poem is impressive, the refrain of the song performed by the Temple Etz Chaim choir is what lingers in my brain even today

On Friday, Nov 2 - #showupforshabbat
"More than 100 Jews, Catholics, Episcopalians and members of other faith groups gathered at the St. John’s Episcopal Church on Tuesday night to offer prayers.
The packed pews were filled with people from different faiths, but all had a common goal – unity and peace among each other.
The prayers and songs delivered during the hour-long service reflected both a sense of remorse for the direction that America is headed and a sense of hope for what people can do to change the shifting tides.
The 11 lives lost during the mass shooting at Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh on Saturday were the main focus of the vigil, but positive notes of a future worth changing reverberated from the words spoken by the town’s faith leaders."
