ROSH HASHANAH MORNING Then Abraham said to his servants You stay here with the ass The boy and I will go up there we will worship and we will return to you Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and put it on his son Isaac He himself took the firestone and the knife and the two walked off together Then Isaac said to his father Abraham Father And he answered Yes my son And he said Here are the firestone and the wood but where is the sheep for the burnt offering eix r p l md x a x n I e i p e xFn gd m r d R m k l Ea W d eg Y W pe d M c r d kl p x r P d e md x a gT I e m k i l d aEW pe mU I e d l rd i v r z Fc iA gT I e F pA w g v i l r z l k O d z e W d z x n I e e C g i m di pW E kl I e x n I e ei a m dx a l wg v i x n I e i pa i P Pd x n I e ia d Vd d I e miv r d e W d d Pd d l rl Clergy Reflection Traditionally the Akedah the binding of Isaac teaches the values of loyalty and faith It asserts the notion that we find in other parts of the service for the High Holy Days that if we do the right thing we will be rewarded Abraham learns that as long as he does what God asks no matter how outrageous it will end well That was the hope of our ancestors good will be rewarded and evil punished If only we shared their confidence in the intentionality of the universe Alas we know that the loyal and faithful do not always fare well and all too often people who do evil things enjoy life unjustly For us faith is not giving control to other powers it is the trust in ourselves and each other that we can build a better world if we envision it and work toward it together In our time faith is transformed into the belief that we can affect our future through purposeful action To be as faithful as Abraham we must look to the future with hope and optimism believing that humanity can reach greater heights This New Year may we commit ourselves to the actions necessary to get there Rabbi Jacqueline Mates Muchin 34

YOM KIPPUR MORNING Meditation on Prayer Prayer is a way of sensitizing ourselves to the wonder of life of expressing gratitude and of praising and acknowledging the reality of God One need not believe that God will interfere with the ongoing process of nature to feel that prayer is worthwhile We may have different understandings of what God is No definition we have is sufficient or answers all doubts and questions To be aware that God exists that there is more in the universe than physical matter that a moral order is inherent in creation that humans are responsible for their conduct and can help to bring about the perfection or at least the improvement of the world and of life that is sufficient reason for prayer Rabbi Reuven Hammer vvv daeh dpy Shanah Tovah 59

YOM KIPPUR MORNING A Prayer for Life Source of all life we pray for life Bless us once more with a year of life so that we may be privileged to complete the year we have just begun Despite the burdens and the heartbreaks the pains and perils we want to live we ask to be inscribed in the Book of Life But even as we pray that years may be added to our lives we ask too that true life may be added to our years May the new year be for us a time for enhancing the quality of our lives enriching their content deepening their meaning Help us to keep our minds alive May we be open to new ideas entertain challenging doubts reexamine long held opinions nurture a lively curiosity and strive to add to our store of knowledge Help us to keep our hearts alive May we develop greater compassion be receptive to new friendships sustain a buoyant enthusiasm grow more sensitive to the beauty which surrounds us Help us to keep our souls alive May we be more responsive to the needs of others less vulnerable to consuming greed more attentive to the craving for fellowship and more devoted to truth Help us to keep our spirits alive May we face the future with confidence knowing that every age has its unique joys and satisfactions each period in our lives a glory of its own Help us to keep our faith alive May we be sustained by the knowledge that You have planted within us life eternal and have given us the power to live beyond our years Whether our years be few or many help us to link our lives to the life of our people and to our eternal faith 60

YOM KIPPUR MORNING WE PRAY SILENTLY ald zlitz Silent Prayer The Middle of the Road is the Right Path With regard to all human traits the middle of the road is the right path For example Do not be hot tempered easily angered Nor on the other hand should you be unfeeling like a corpse Rather take the middle of the road keep an even disposition reserving your anger for occasions when it is truly warranted Similarly do not cultivate a desire for luxuries keep your eye fixed only on genuine necessities In giving to others do not hold back what you can afford but do not give so lavishly that you yourself will be impoverished Avoid both hysterical gaiety and somber dejection and instead be calmly joyful always showing a cheerful countenance Act similarly with regard to all the dispositions This is the path followed by the wise vvv We Choose We do not choose to be born We do not choose our parents We do not choose our historical epoch the country of our birth or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing We do not most of us choose to die nor do we choose the time or conditions of our death But within all of this realm of choicelessness we do choose how we shall live courageously or in cowardice honorably or dishonorably with purpose or adrift We decide what is important and what is trivial in life We decide that what makes us significant is either what we do or what we refuse to do But no matter how indifferent the universe may be to our choices and decisions these choices and decisions are ours to make We decide We choose And as we decide and choose so are our lives formed vvv 85

YOM KIPPUR MORNING A Few Holds Hold on to your hand when you are about to do an unkind act Hold on to your tongue when you are ready to speak harshly Hold on to your heart when evil persons invite you to join their ranks Hold on to your temper when you are excited or angry or others are angry with you Hold on to the truth for it will serve you well and do you good throughout eternity Hold on to your character for it is and ever will be your best wealth vvv Soul Searching Most of us are experts at denying our faults We ignore our shortcomings we hide from them we blame others for our own failings With our blinders safely in place we make our way through life But the story always takes a similar turn When things go wrong we wonder why we keep making the same mistakes The answer is simple Without honesty without soul searching we can never hope to change or grow If we want to transform the plot of our lives we have to learn to become experts at facing our faults Self exploration is painful and it takes time and enormous strength But just imagine yourself freed from self defeating patterns Imagine yourself responding differently to situations that always tripped you up in the past Imagine yourself refraining from behaviors that are selfish cruel and unworthy of you Imagine yourself coming closer to the goodness to which you aspire vvv 86

YOM KIPPUR MORNING I make it with those who are standing here with us today before the Eternal our God and equally with all who are not here with us today For this commandment which I command you this day is not too hard for you nor too remote It is not in heaven that you should say Who will go up to heaven for us and fetch it for us so that we can fulfill it Nor is it beyond the sea that you should say Who will cross to the other side of the sea for us and fetch it for us so that we can fulfill it Rather it is very close to you it is in your mouth and in your heart so that you can fulfill it See I have set before you today life and good or death and evil For I command you this day to love the Eternal your God to walk in God s ways and to observe God s commandments God s statutes and God s ordinances so that you will live and increase and the Eternal your God will bless you in the land to which you are coming to take possession of it But if your heart deviates and you do not listen and you will be drawn astray and you will prostrate yourself to other deities and serve them 100 EpO r d R F pW i xW z i M Epi d l d Fd i i pt l mF Id c n r mF Id Ep O r d R EP pi x W z e i k p x W z Gd d ev O d i M e d z lt p l mF Id L Ev n l e d dw gx l e L On i n x n l e d m i nX a Ep N d gT ie dn in X d Ep N d l r i d PU r pe D z Ep rn W ie i n x n l e d m I l x a rn l e d gT ie m Id x a r l Ep l x a r i d PU r pe D z Ep rn W ie Ep N c n x aC d Li l aFx w i M FzU r l L a a l a E Li t A mF Id Li pt l i Y z p d x aFH d z e mi Ig d z xW rx d z e z e Od z e da d l mFI d L E v n i k p eik x c A z k l l Lid l d Fd i z ei z Tg e ei z ev n x n Wl e Lk x a E z ia x e z i ig e ei hR W n E d Y x W ux A Lid l d Fd i d pt i m e D Y W x l d O W a Y g C pe r nW z l e L a a l mix g mi d l l z i eg Y W d e m Y c a r e

YOM KIPPUR AFTERNOON In my trouble I called to the Eternal And God answered me From the belly of Sheol I cried out And You heard my voice You cast me into the depths Into the heart of the sea The floods engulfed me All Your breakers and billows Swept over me I thought I was driven away Out of Your sight Would I ever gaze again upon Your holy Temple The waters closed in over me The deep engulfed me Weeds twined around my head I sank to the base of the mountains The bars of the earth closed upon me forever Yet You brought my life up from the pit O Eternal my God When my life was ebbing away I called the Eternal to mind And my prayer came before You Into Your holy Temple They who cling to empty folly forsake their own welfare But I with loud thanksgiving Will sacrifice to You What I have vowed I will perform Deliverance is the Eternal s 129

YOM KIPPUR AFTERNOON The Eternal God provided a ricinus plant which grew up over Jonah to provide shade for his head and save him from discomfort Jonah was very happy about the plant But the next day at dawn God provided a worm which attacked the plant so that it withered And when the sun rose God provided a sultry east wind the sun beat down on Jonah s head and he became faint He begged for death saying I would rather die than live Then God said to Jonah Are you so deeply grieved about the plant Yes he replied so deeply that I want to die Then the Eternal said You cared about the plant which you did not work for and which you did not grow which appeared overnight and perished overnight And should not I care about Nineveh that great city in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons who do not yet know their right hand from their left and many beasts as well BLESSING AFTER THE HAFTARAH Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech haolam tzur kol haolamim tzadik b chol hadorot haEl hane eman haomeir v oseh ham dabeir um kayeim shekol d varav emet vatzedek Al haTorah v al haavodah v al han vi im v al Yom HaShabbat hazeh v al Yom HaKippurim hazeh shenatata lanu Adonai Eloheinu lik dushah v lim nucha lim chilah velis lichah ul chaparah l chavod ul tifaret Al hakol Adonai Eloheinu anachnu modim lach um var chim otach Epi d l i i d Y KEx A mi n lFr d l M xEv m lFr d K ln l d zFxFc d l kA wiC v d UFr e x nF d o n Pd l MW m Iw n E x Ac nd wc v e z n eix aC l re dcFa rd l re dxFY d l r z AX d mFi l re mi i a Pd d fd mixER Md mFi l re d fd Epi d Fl i i Ep l Y z PW d li gn l d gEp n le d WEc w l cFa kl dx Rk l E d gi lq le zx t z l E Ep g p Epi d Fl i i l Md l r K zF mi kx an E K l micFn 131

YOM KIPPUR YIZKOR SERVICE The Wisdom of Our Tradition Our tradition shows great wisdom in teaching us to gather for services of remembrance on Yom Kippur and on Pesach Shavuot and Sukkot the three pilgrimage festivals These moments that mark the seasons of the year and the seasons of our lives awaken strong memories of relationships that shaped us sustained us and sometimes challenged us and of holy days we shared with loved ones and cherished friends When they are gone we can still affirm the beautiful and lasting values we learned from them and remember them in all their humanness We do that by coming together as a community of comfort and care From its inception a thousand years ago when it was prayed by Ashkenazic Jews on the morning of Yom Kippur Yizkor has had two profound themes God s embrace of the loved ones who are beyond our reach and our commitment to do the good deeds in their memory When we say Yizkor may God remember we proclaim our faith that those who have died have significance now and forever 147

YOM KIPPUR YIZKOR SERVICE If every life were like a drop of rain each of us a small solitary self then death would be for return back to the ocean whence we came Some raindrops soft and gentle as the showers of spring others hard and raging like summer storms of hail and thunder Each life a separate journey back to the beginning and back to God Picture God as a great ocean teeming with life in the ebb tide and flow where each raindrop begins and ends and begins again and again In the dance of waves we dance forever not I as I nor you as you and yet together rising and falling soft and peaceful hard and raging a dance we only dimly see to music we but faintly hear together and forever And if all this were so if God were like the ocean and each of us like rain and mist Would my heart not break at losing you Could the ocean contain my tears vvv 156

YOM KIPPUR YIZKOR SERVICE vvv Deep contemplation of death can elevate the soul it may even lead to peace of mind Above all it helps us see our lives in a truer light For all things that appear trivial in light of death are already without significance in themselves Annoyance that someone has slighted us envy over others achievements how inconsequential it all seems when viewed from the perpective of our mortality To pass each day solely in pursuit of material success this is life lived in what the poet calls the shadow of a shadow Rather when death is near may each of us carry this truth in our hearts I have contributed to the work of tikkun olam I have done my part in the struggle for goodness No act of kindness is too small to count no act of love is without power The world needs every heart and every hand and though we can never know the final outcome of our deeds the fruit of our service will be gathered in by those who come after us At this sacred moment reflecting on the impermanence of our lives let these words serve as affirmation of the quiet ways in which each of us joins the great quest of humankind The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life and rest in unvisited tombs vvv 157
