From the Ashrei (Psalm 145) אַשְרֵ י יֹושְ בֵי בֵיתֶּ ָך , Ashrei yoshvei veitecha עֹוד יְהַלְלּוָך סֶּלָה: Od y'hallelucha selah

Happy are those who dwell in Your house; They will praise You always.

8 Ashrei (with words from the Dalai Lama)

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

Account for the fact that great love & great achievements involve great risk. But when you lose at something you attempted don’t lose the lesson. Chart by the three R’s: Respect for self, Respect for others & Responsibility. Don’t forget that not getting what you want is sometimes a stroke of luck. Each time you realize you made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. Friendships include differences: don’t let a dispute injure a relationship.

9 Ashrei

Genuine friends will stand by you, whether you are successful or unlucky. Happiness is not something ready made: It comes from your own actions. In disagreements deal only with the current situation: Don’t bring up the past. Judge success by what you gave up in order to get what you wanted. Keep an open heart: everyone needs to be loved. Love & compassion are necessities: Without them, humanity cannot survive. Maintain a sincere attitude: be concerned that outcomes are fair Nurture a loving atmosphere in your home: it is the foundation for your life.

10 Ashrei

Open your arms to change , but don’t let go of your values. Please be gentle with the earth: it’s the only planet we have. Quit complaining about others, and spend more time making yourself better. Remember that silence ...... is sometimes the best answer. Share your knowledge wisely: It is a way to achieve immortality. Twice or even once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before. Understanding for others brings the tranquility and happiness we seek. Verify your understanding, but don’t forget to believe and have faith.

11 Ashrei

We all need some time alone: make room for you each and every day. X-ray vision doesn’t exist but seeking the truth is a good start. You are not alone God made all of us unique but not special. Zero in on what matters and start each day with loving yourself.

Let us bless YHVH, the blessed One. Let us bless YHVH, the blessed One, now and forever! 14 Yotzer Or - Good Poem by R’ Rachel Barenblat

Beloved, You are good and you wield goodness that have worn grooves in shaping creation into my back?) but that's my own smallness. and every single day in Your goodness You've made me new and with Your goodness formed me for this new day a sapling unbowed. You make us new with all created things. The knot in my stomach You make me new. the knot in my throat -- You untie them. I cling to yesterday (who would I be Can I sit with You without the sorrows for even a few minutes before I tangle myself again?

Drink deep of Torah, a fathomless well. Seas spread out to distant horizons; Torah encompasses all of the earth. Water revives and refreshes the body; Torah is potent, restoring the soul. Soil and pollution swept away in pure waters; Immersing in Torah, the spirit is cleansed. Earth’s precious water, free and untrammeled – Torah is open and belongs to all people. Mighty waters pour down like thunder; Torah is shared in a rainbow of voices.

16 Ahavah Rabbah –All Who Are Thirsty, Come Here for Water (cont’d) Waters flow from the heights to the valleys; Torah will dwell in the humble of heart. Raindrops swell into powerful rivers; Begin in your learning and wisdom will grow. Fountain of gardens, wellspring of fresh water; Words of Torah bring life to the world. Our praise to You, Adonai: With love You offer us the gift of Torah.

Love YHVH your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your being. Place these words that I command you this day upon your heart. Teach them faithfully to your generations. Speak of them at home and on your way, when you lie down and when you rise up. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. 19 Mindful

So you will be mindful and actualize My mitzvot and be holy to your God. I am YHVH your God, Who brought you out of the Narrow Place in order to be your God. I am YHVH your God!

Let us declare the sacred power of this day, for it is awesome and dreadful. On this day, Your rule is exalted, Your throne is established with love, and You sit upon it in truth. For it is truth that You judge and determine, know and witness, write and seal, count and account. You remember all that was forgotten. You open the Book of Memory. It reads from itself and the signature of every human being is in it.

29 Unetaneh Tokef

The great shofar sounds—the still, small voice is heard. Even the angels are seized by trembling and fear as they declare, “This is the day of judgment when even the hosts of heaven are judged.” Nothing can evade Your eyes in judgment.

30 Unetaneh Tokef

בְ רֹאש הַשָ נָה יִּכָתֵ בּון ,ּובְ יֹום צֹום כִּ ּפּור ,B’Rosh Hashanah yikateivun יֵחָתֵ מּון. .uv’Yom tzom Kippur yeichateimun

For on Rosh Hashanah it is written, and on Yom Kippur it is sealed:

"On Rosh Hashanah it is inscribed, and on Yom Kippur it is sealed...." From this we can intuit that while the heart may be solid on Rosh Hashanah (so words can be inscribed on it), it must be soft like wax in order to be sealed on Yom Kippur. We must soften our hearts during these ten days.

31 Adapted from R’ Rachel Barenblat by R’ Unetaneh Tokef 2020 Dara Lithwick Who will choose hatred, and who will choose love; Who will choose distance, and who connection; Who will hold a grudge, and who offer forgiveness; Who will be brittle, and who will be resilient --; Who will let covid rage, and who will pursue healing; Who will turn away, and who will tend those who mourn - Who will ignore racism, and who will work to change it; Who will mouth platitudes, and who speak words of meaning; Who pretend away brokenness, and who seek repair – Who will consume, and who limit consumption; Who will throw out, and who will recycle; Who’ll let the world burn, and who will put out the fires; Who will be silent, and who will speak for the planet; Who will shrug, and who will take responsibility; Who will ignore wrongs, and who will work toward justice; Who will cast blame, and who will create change.

32 Unetaneh Tokef

But teshuvah, tefilah, and tzedakah temper the harshness of the decree!

When we re-turn to righteousness - when we enter into spiritual practice - when we give to others in a way that centers justice - we ease life’s harsh places.

33 Who by Fire Leonard Cohen, z’l And who by fire, who by water Who in the sunshine, who in the night time Who by high ordeal, who by common trial Who in your merry merry month of May Who by very slow decay And who shall I say is calling? And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate Who in these realms of love, who by something blunt Who by avalanche, who by powder Who for his greed, who for his hunger

And who shall I say is calling? “Who by fire” is And who by brave assent, who by accident Leonard Cohen’s version of the Who in solitude, who in this mirror "Unetaneh Tokef".

You have delighted in us among all of the nations, loving us, desiring us, elevating us and sanctifying us with mitzvot, drawing us near to serve You, that Your great holy Presence might be known to us.

With love, we have been given: (on Shabbat: this Shabbat and) this Day of Atonement for renouncing our wrongs, for asking for forgiveness, for cleansing, for reconciliation.

Forgiveness Prayers

45 By Adrienne What Kind of Times are These Rich There's a place between two stands of trees where the grass grows uphill and the old revolutionary road breaks off into shadows near a meeting-house abandoned by the persecuted who disappeared into those shadows.

I've walked there picking mushrooms at the edge of dread, but don't be fooled this isn't a Russian poem, this is not somewhere else but here, our country moving closer to its own truth and dread, its own ways of making people disappear.

I won't tell you where the place is, the dark mesh of the woods meeting the unmarked strip of light— ghost-ridden crossroads, leafmold paradise: I know already who wants to buy it, sell it, make it disappear.

And I won't tell you where it is, so why do I tell you anything? Because you still listen, because in times like these to have you listen at all, it's necessary to talk about trees. 46 The Thirteen Attributes

Many people have the custom of beating the breast during the recitation of this alphabetical list of places where we've missed the mark. Another way to understand that gesture is: we're knocking on our hearts, imploring them to open.

Our God and God of our ancestors, accept our prayer and do not hide from us. We are not so hard-hearted and stiff-necked to say before You, YHVH, that we are wholly righteous and pure. Rather, we confess that we have sinned.

Halleluyah Music by R’ Shir Yaakov Feit Please God heal her/him/us/them 78 We Remember Adapted from R’ Jeffrey Goldwasser

We remember those who lived, learned, prayed, celebrated and mourned with us in times gone by. We remember mothers and fathers who built a foundation for our lives. We remember the partnership of spouses. and the love that made those relationships holy. We remember brothers and sisters. We remember children, taken before we were ready. We remember friends who touched our lives. May this Zoom room be a safe container for our memory and our grief. O God, on this holy day, help us to remember.

80 Blessing for the Brokenhearted

There is no remedy for love but to love more.—Henry David Thoreau

Let us agree for now that we will not say the breaking makes us stronger or that it is better to have this pain than to have done without this love. Let us promise we will not tell ourselves time will heal the wound, when every day our waking opens it anew. Perhaps for now it can be enough to simply marvel at the mystery of how a heart so broken can go on beating, as if it were made for precisely this— as if it knows the only cure for love is more of it, as if it sees the heart’s sole remedy for breaking is to love still, as if it trusts that its own persistent pulse is the rhythm of a blessing we cannot begin to fathom but will save us nonetheless.

O God: You know my heart. Indeed, You know me better than I know myself.

My emotions swirl as I say this prayer. The parent I remember was not kind to me. His/her death left me with a legacy of unhealed wounds, of anger and of dismay that a parent could hurt a child as I was hurt.

Help me, O God, to subdue bitter emotions that do me no good, and to find that place in myself where happier memories may lie hidden, and where grief for all that could have been, all that should have been, may be calmed by forgiveness, or at least soothed by the passage of time.

I pray that You, who raise up slaves to freedom, will liberate me from the oppression of my hurt and anger, and that You will lead me from this desert to Your holy place.
