Transliteration for Renew Our Days: A Prayer-Cycle for Days of Awe Edited and translated by Rabbi Ronald Aigen z’’l Renew Our Days Maḥzor: Copyright © 2016 by The Reconstructionist Synagogue of Montreal (d/b/a Congregation Dorshei Emet). All rights reserved. Transliteration Copyright Ó 2017 by Kehillah Synagogue Chapel Hill, North Carolina About This Transliteration Kehillah Synagogue adopted Renew Our Days as our high-holiday Maḥzor more than a decade ago. It has met the congregation’s needs well for those who read Hebrew. To enable people who don’t read Hebrew to participate, we’ve always provided a transliteration booklet that transliterates a small portion of the Maḥzor, but it hasn’t need this recognized also ז״ל Aigen Rabbi participation. full allow to enough been and added more transliteration to each successive edition of the printed Maḥzor. Before Rabbi Aigen’s untimely passing, Howard Glicksman discussed with him the idea of producing a new edition of the Maḥzor with full transliteration. Rabbi Aigen was enthusiastic and was planning to participate in producing this new edition. With the cooperation of Congregation Dorshei Emet, we have pressed ahead with the project. This transliteration “booklet” is the first step of that effort. The initial transliteration was produced from computer files of the Hebrew text by a computer program written by Lee Nackman. The program attempts to reproduce Rabbi Aigen’s style of transliteration, as described on pages xxii and xxiii of the printed Maḥzor. Since the program is imperfect, the automatically-produced transliteration was proofread and edited by Eric Silberman, a student at Hebrew College Rabbinical School. Eric also identified improvements to the program. Eric’s work was funded by Kehillah Synagogue through a contribution from Howard Glicksman and Lois Bronstein. We hope that this booklet is a useful interim aide to help non-Hebrew readers participate more fully in the Kehillah’s 5778 High Holiday services. We hope that there is enough positive feedback to encourage completing this project by producing a new printed edition of the Maḥzor with full transliteration in the three-column style used in our Siddurim. In this style, each page has three columns: Hebrew, English translation, and English transliteration. We would welcome your feedback on this approach.
