Candlelighting • הַדְלָקַ ת נֵ רות • Hadlakat Neirot

With the setting of this evening’s sun, united with Jews of every place and time, we proclaim a new year of hope. May the light of the Divine shine forth to lead us, to show us the good we must do, the harmony we must create. Let the fire we kindle be for us a warming flame, whose brightness shows us the path of life.

Yet it was our suffering they bore, our pains they endured. And we supposed them punished by God, afflicted. All the while they were wounded by our misdeeds, crushed by our sins. They were oppressed, they were afflicted, yet they never said a word. Like lambs led to the slaughter, like sheep standing dumb before their shearers, they never uttered a cry. By violence and injustice were they carried off. Who cared about their fate, when they were cut off from the land of the living?

Born of the sun they travelled a short while toward the sun, And left the vivid air signed with their honor.
