Brittany: (Light their candles) I am the voice of the menorah. From out of the darkness I speak to you and bring you light. I am the emblem of the Order of B’nai B’rith – The symbol of the people of Israel. I am a light of fire that burns in the heart of every true Jew. My mission is to light the world with the eternal light of the divine truth. I welcome you to a wonderful place; a place to be yourself. Welcome to a world that becomes, quite quickly, a second home. More than chapters, conventions, and programs, this organization is about sisterhood, friendship, and our common bond of Judaism. It is a place to learn and love freely. It is these three things that make the B’nai B’rith Girls so incredibly unique, so amazingly comfortable, and so much like home I am a B’nai B’rith Girl—
