The House assembled at 12:00 Noon.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rabbi Edward M. Friedman of Synagogue Emanuel in Charleston:
The second century sage, Rabbi Yochanan HaSandlar, taught, "Kol Kenesia she-hee l'sheim shamayim, sofah l'hitkayeim, Every assembly whose purpose is to serve God will in the end be established; v'she-einah l'sheim shamayim, ein sofah l'hitkayeim, but every assembly whose purpose is not for God's sake will not in the end be established."
Heavenly Father, we gather together this day as this assembly convenes once again, representing the people of South Carolina. These, our representatives, gather in the hope of fulfilling the expectations of those who have sent them to this assembly as well as in the hope of living up to their responsibilities as servants of the Almighty. Help them, O Lord, to do what is right, just, and equitable. Grant them wisdom to deal knowledgeably and intelligently with the issues before them. Guide them in the decisions they must make and strengthen them to do Your will.
Father of all people, unite us all to serve You and to reach out in love to help one another as we continue our task of rebuilding our communities and restoring the beauty of our state. Grant us patience and understanding, help us to understand the needs of others even as we wish that they understand our needs. Show us how to be more caring and concerned for our neighbors just as we hope for their caring concern for us as well. Let us strive to fulfill the commandment in Leviticus, "Love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord," recognizing that only when we love our neighbors and show it through our actions, do we demonstrate our true belief in God, only them does God say, "I am the Lord."
Bless us our Father, all of us together , in the light of Your presence. Grant blessing, goodness, compassion, and peace to all people. May this assembly long endure as an assembly devoted to fulfilling Your will: bringing peace, understanding, and brotherhood, to all the diverse people who make up this state.
Amen.
