Rabbi Minkowicz Gives Invocation at State House

Rabbi Hirshy Minkowicz, a Chabad rabbi serving the North Fulton Jewish community, was recently invited to serve as the Chaplain for the Day at the Georgia House of Representatives. This prestigious occasion allowed him to deliver a heartfelt invocation, drawing upon the themes of Passover, freedom, and renewal. In his prayer, Rabbi Minkowicz highlighted the timeless significance of Passover, a Jewish holiday that commemorates the Israelites’ liberation from slavery in Egypt. He connected the spirit of freedom that is central to the holiday with the broader values of liberty and justice that resonate deeply within the American ethos.

Rabbi Minkowicz emphasized the universal yearning for freedom, reminding lawmakers of their duty to uphold justice, equality, and the dignity of all individuals. His invocation also reflected on the theme of renewal, encouraging members of the House to reflect on personal and collective growth, both spiritually and in their roles as public servants. In a world often marked by division and strife, Rabbi Minkowicz’s message was one of hope and transformation, inviting lawmakers to renew their commitment to serving their communities with integrity, compassion, and a renewed sense of purpose.

The opportunity to serve as Chaplain for the Day was a significant honor for Rabbi Minkowicz.
