Typically during the Yamim Nora’im, we contemplate an alphabetical list of sins from the previous year, a litany of negative actions. Perhaps during these High Holidays, we can focus on the positive, those attributes and actions that have continued to help us navigate this challenging time.
Rabbi Jillian Cameron and Cantor Juval Porat of Beth Chayim Chadashim in Los Angeles, have created a new list, one that I hope you find meaningful.
Acknowledging the Good By Cantor Juval Porat and Rabbi Jillian Cameron
We’ve acted authentically We’ve blessed We’ve cultivated compassion We’ve delighted We’ve engaged empathically We’ve favored fairness We’ve galvanized We’ve harmonized We’ve inspired We’ve joined We’ve kindled kindness We’ve laughed We’ve matured We’ve nurtured We’ve offered optimism We’ve persevered We’ve questioned We’ve released We’ve sympathized We’ve tried We’ve uplifted We’ve vivified We’ve welcomed We’ve x’ed out excess We’ve yearned We’ve zoomed and zoomed in For all these, Source of Life Inspire us, encourage us, sustain our hope. L’shana tova to all, Judy
