I wrote this Hoshana for Sukkot 5785 for the weekday minyan at קהילת הוד והדר (Ḳehillat Hod v’Hadar). Although I was initially inspired by the hosha-na text written by Rabbi Annie Lewis last year (that I translated), after some consultation, I decided on a more forward-looking perspective because Sukkot is a time for building, even if that building is fragile.

The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-commercial, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture.
