True Torah Jews congratulates President Barack Obama on winning reelection. May he continue to lead the United States on the path to economic prosperity and world peace.

As Jews, we are obligated to respect our leaders, pray for them and show our appreciation and loyalty to them, as the great prophet said, "Seek out the welfare of the city to which I have exiled you and pray for it to the Almighty, for through its welfare will you have welfare." (Jeremiah 29:7). This message has been a cornerstone of Jewish conduct in exile throughout history. Therefore, on this occasion, we call upon all of our member synagogues to recite the prayer for our president and government this Saturday morning. The text of the prayer is:

May He Who grants salvation to kings and power to princes, Whose kingdom endures forever, Who saved His servant David from the sword of his enemies, Who makes a path in the seas and a road in the mighty waters – bless, keep, guard, assist, exalt, empower and uplift our honorable President Barack Obama!

May the King of kings in His mercy give him life and guard him, save him from all misfortune, tragedy and harm, and grant him success. May He make him victorious in his battles and successful in all his undertakings.

May the King of kings, in His mercy, place mercy in his heart and the hearts of all his advisors and cabinet members, to deal kindly with all peoples, including the Jewish people. In his days and in our days may the Jewish people be redeemed and dwell safely, with the coming of the messiah, so may it be His will, amen.
