17. V’Ahavta (Interpretive Version by Marge Piercy)
So you shall love what is holy with all your courage, with all your passion with all your strength. Let the words that have come down shine in our words and our actions. We must teach our children to know and understand them. We must speak about what is good and holy within our homes when we are working, when we are at play, when we lie down and when we get up. Let the work of our hands speak of goodness. Let it run in our blood and glow from our doors and windows. We should love ourselves, for we are of God. We should love our neighbors as ourselves. We should love the stranger, for we were once strangers in the land of Egypt and have been strangers in all the lands of the world since. Let love fill our hearts with its clear precious water. Heaven and earth observe how we cherish or spoil our world. Heaven and earth watch whether we choose life or choose death. We must chose life so our children's children may live. Be quiet and listen to the still small voice within that speaks in love. Open to that voice, hear it, heed it and work for life. Let us remember and strive to be good. Let us remember to find what is holy within and without.

And they shall be tzitzit for you, and when you look at them you will remember all of the Lord’s commandments and do them and not follow after your heart and after your eyes which lead you astray. In order to remember and do all My commandments, and be holy for your God. I am the Lord, Your God, who led you from the land of Egypt to be a God to you. I am the Lord, your God…in Truth.

Ritual reading from the Torah scroll is central to collective Jewish prayer. We divide the portion to be chanted into a number of sections, each called an aliyah (ascension, as those called to sacralize the rite literally and figuratively come “up” to the Torah).
In the Jewish Renewal custom, multiple people can come up for each aliyah; if you feel called by the intention that has been set around the portion to be read, come on up - and bring this book so you will have the words of the Torah reading, and of the blessings before and after it visible. 11. Blessings Before Each Torah Reading
Those called to the Torah are shown where in the scroll the chanting of the text will begin, and then say: :QrIc N v hh ,t Ufr C Barchu et Adonai haMevorach. Bless the One Blessed Power! 25 The congregation responds: :sg u o kIgk QrIc N v hh QUrC Baruch Adonai haMevorach l’Olam va-Ed. Blessed is the Blessed One forever and ever!
Those called to the Torah repeat phrase, continuing:
:sg u o kIgk QrIc N v hh QUrC Baruch Adonai haMevorach l’Olam va-Ed. Blessed is the Blessed One forever and ever!

26 13. Torah Readings - Rosh HaShanah 5781
In the orthodox tradition, on the first day of Rosh haShanah the Torah reading is always the story of Hagar, banished by Abraham into the wilderness with her infant son Ishmael, and reassured by an angel she encounters there. On the second day we read the story of the akedah, the binding of Isaac, a profound second half to this diptych of sacrifice, faith and divine intervention.
Our custom at Nevei Kodesh is to select different readings for focus each year. This year we will read the story of the akedah, traditionally read on the second day
1st aliyah - Genesis 22:1-3 (Hebrew:Nohar Mesika, English:Malaya Bratter ) :hb Bv rnt« Hu o vr c t uh k º t rnt«´H u o·v r c t ,t v Xb ohv«k" º t´ v u v Kºt v oh´r c S v Ærj t hv À h u t v· Hr« N v .r t kt Wº k Q k u ej º m h ,t ÆT c v t rJ t W³ sh j h ,t W b C ,t t b je rnt«¿H u c ÆJ«cj H u re«À CC ov ¹r c t oF J H u d :Wh kt r n«t r Jt ohr º v v s´j t kg µ v k«g º k ÆoJ Uv³ k gv u oIeN v kt Q kº Hu oe´ Hu vº k«g h´m g ÆgE c h u I·bC e´j m h , tu IT º t Æuhr g b h³ bJ ,t jE H u Ir«n º j ,t :ohv«k" t v I k rn t rJ t
22:1 After these events, God tested Abraham.’Abraham!' He said. 'Yes.' 22:2 'Take your son, the only one you love - Isaac - and go away to the Moriah area. Bring him as an all-burned offering on one of the mountains that I will designate to you.' 22:3 Abraham got up early in the morning and saddled his donkey. He took his two men with him, along with his son Isaac. He cut wood for the offering, and set out, heading for the place that God had designated.
2nd aliyah - Genesis 22:4-8 (Hebrew:Ziva Moyal, English:Toby Schoenfeld) o¹v r c t rnt« Hu v :e«j r n oIeN v ,t tr Hu uh² bhg ,t o¯v r c t t¬ H u hJh À k v oI´HC s :o fh kt vcU J bu v uj T J bu v«·F sg v fk b rgº B v u h´b t u rIn º j v og Æv«P o f k Uc J uhÀr g b kt , k·f t N v ,t u J tv ,t Is º hC jE ´ H u IºbC e´j m h kg ÆoG Hu vÀ k«gv h´m g ,t ov ¹r c t jE H u u v³ Bv rnt«ÀH u h·b c h B´ B v rnt« Hu hºc t rnt«´H u Æuhc t o³v r c t kt ej ¹m h rnt« Hu z :uS j h o vh bJ Uf k Hu Uf k Hu h·b C v k«gk v²¬ v I K vt r h oh¾v«k" t ov º r c t Ærnt« Hu j :v k«gk v ¬v v Ht u ohm º g´ v u ÆJt v :uS j h o vh bJ
22:4 On the third day, Abraham looked up, and saw the place from afar. 22:5 Abraham said to his young men, 'Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go to that place. We will worship and then return to you.'22:6 Abraham took the offering wood and placed it on [the shoulders of] his son Isaac. He himself took the fire and the slaughter knife, and the two of them went together. 22:7 Isaac spoke up to Abraham. 'Father.' 'Yes, my son.' 'Here is the fire and the wood. But where is the lamb for the offering?' 22:8 'God will see to a lamb for an offering, my son,' replied Abraham. The two of them continued together.
27 3rd aliyah - Genesis 22:9-13 (Hebrew:Susan Berman, English:Talia Horowitz) Q«r g H u jº C z N v ,t Æov r c t o³J ic Hu oh¸ v«k" t v I´k rn t r´J t oIe» N v kt Ut«Àc Hu y Æov r c t j³ kJ H u h :ohm g k kg Nn jº C z N v kg ÆI,«t oG³ Hu IºbC e´j m h ,t Æs«e g H u oh·m g v ,t rnt« Hu ohº n v in hh Q³t k n uh k ¹t tr e H u th :Ib C ,t y«jJ k , k·f t N v ,t jE H u Is º h ,t | h´F vnU· tn Ik Gg T kt u rgº B v kt ÆWs h j³ kJ T kt rnt«ÀH u ch :hb Bv rnt« Hu o·v r c t | o´v r c t o¹v r c t t¬ H u dh :hB N n W sh j h ,t W b C ,t T f² G j t «ku vTº t Æohv«k" t t³r h hF hT gÀ s h v´T g Uv k g Hu khº t v ,t jE ´ H u Æov r c t Q k³ Hu uh· br e C Q cX C z jt b r¾j t khº t v Bv u Ætr H u uhÀ bhg ,t :Ib C ,j T v k«gk
22:9 When they finally came to the place designated by God, Abraham built the altar there, and arranged the wood. He then bound his son Isaac, and placed him on the altar on top of the wood. 22:10 Abraham reached out and took the slaughter knife to slit his son's throat. 22:11 God's angel called to him from heaven and said, 'Abraham! Abraham!' 'Yes.' 22:12 'Do not harm the boy. Do not do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God. You have not withheld your only son from Him.' 22:13 Abraham then looked up and saw a ram caught by its horns in a thicket. He went and got the ram, sacrificing it as an all-burned offering in his son's place.
14. MiSheberach - A Blessing on Those Who Came Up
May the One who blessed our ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel and Leah, bless this entire holy congregation, along with all holy congregations throughout the world.
May G!d bless us, our spouses, our parents, our children, all that we have and all that we love. May G!d bless all those who give generously to maintain synagogues and places of prayer. May G!d bless those who enter there to pray. May G!d bless those who provide for the needs of the sanctuary, those who provide food and drink for the oneg, and those who provide hospitality to visitors and assistance to the poor.
G!d in your great mercy deal generously with all who engage themselves with the needs of the community, and who are striving faithfully to build a better world.
May the Holy One of Blessing fulfill all their needs, rescue them from all illness and danger, bring healing and health to their bodies, and completely forgive and make right all their errors. May G!d send blessing and success on all the works of their hands, and let us all say: Amen!
28 While the Torah scroll is physically in our midst, we offer our most sincere prayers for personal and collective healing. We then ceremonially raise the Torah so all can see her, and then wrap and dress her once again.

Tekiah - one note, unbroken - a call to attention, to search within ourselves. Shevarim - three notes - a wail, a cry to God from deep within us; Sarah's wail. Teruah - nine or more staccato notes - an alarm, a broken sound; waking us up to action. Tekiah Gedolah - One long, sustained note - the forging of our new selves, signaling our intent of genuine repentance.

6. Malchuyot - God’s Sovereignty We ask ourselves: What forces have been ruling me this year, other than my Higher Power? What pursuits, beliefs, or people have I been giving my power to, so that I remain “forgetful” of God's Presence in and around me, and filling the world?

32 Al ken...Therefore we hope in you, Un-nameable Divine, to see very soon the radiance of your power: to sweep away desecrations from the earth, and all false consciousness to be utterly removed: to mend the world through the sovereignty of nurture, and all mortal beings to call upon your name: when you turn towards you all the wicked of the earth.
They shall perceive and understand, all the dwellers on earth: Feeling an innate fealty, expressing an innate trust. Before you, O God, shall they kneel and fall, and to the honor of your name shall they add splendor, and all shall receive the yoke of your sovereignty, and you shall be their Guiding Power; as it is written in your Torah: 'God shall reign forever and ever.' /sg u o kIgk Q«kn h hh '.r t v kF kg Q kn k hh v hv u 'rn t b u /sj t InaU 'sj t hh v hv h tUvv oIHC

8. Zichronot - God’s Remembering We ask ourselves: Am I holding a belief that what I do or who I am doesn’t matter? Am I holding on to some memory, hurt, or resentment that blocks me from living as my most radiant self? What do I need to remember myself as limitless, shining, and beloved?
9. Shofrot - God’s Calling We ask ourselves: What truth do I need to be awakened to in this moment? What is God's call for me now? When I listen into the silence beyond the shofar’s blasts, can I hear my soul’s yearning? What am I being called toward in my life for this coming year?

Let us pay attention the holiness of this day - truly a profound and awesome time. On it the angels themselves are trembling, arrayed before Your throne, the place of kindness where You are seated. For You are truly the principle of justice, of weighing and investigating, knowing and witnessing, writing and sealing. You record and account, recalling all that has been forgotten. You take out the book of remembrances, and read from it; for the signature of every being is in it.
Then a giant shofar sounds... And then the still small voice is heard.... The angels are in a commotion, seized by terror and trembling, declaring: “Judgement Day! Judgement Day! Judgement Day is today!! Even the celestial beings will have to stand trial; nothing is exempt from G!d’s justice!”
For all the earth’s inhabitants pass before the One like soldiers. Like a shepherd watching her flock, counting her herd as each pass beneath her staff - so too does the Divine One pass them through, enumerate and account for them, taking note of each individual life.
You pay attention to each of your creatures, and write down each and every fate. :iUn, j h rUPf o«um o«uhcU iUc, f h v ba v J«trc B'Rosh HaShanah yiKatevun, u'v'Yom tzom Kippur yeKhatemun

34 On Rosh HaShanah it is written down And on Yom Kippur signed and sealed and bound.

May there be universal peace, life for us, for all Israel, and all who dwell on earth. Amen.
