Am Neujahrstag und Versöhnungstag wenn der Vorbether Alenu sagt.	On Rosh haShanah and Yom Kippur when the prayer leader says Aleinu.
Herr der Welt! Es ist unsere Pflicht mit Ehrfurcht deinen heiligen Namen zu loben. Mit Sünden belastet trete ich vor dir, deine Barmherzigkeit anzurufen. Allbarmherziger, du hast uns die Wege der Bekehrung vorgezeichnet! daher komme ich voll Reue und Buße, knieend und niedergebeugt, für mich, meinen Mann und Kinder vor deinem Throne zu beten. Die Gnade, die du mir und den meinigen von unserer Jugend an hast angedeihen lassen, entziehe uns nicht. Vernimm mein Gebet mit Erbarmen in der jetzigen gnadenvollen Zeit, wie du einst deinem treuen Diener Moses zugerufen hast: ich verzeihe wie du bittest. (4. Mose 14, 20)	Lord of the world! It is our duty to praise your holy name with reverence. Burdened with sins, I come before you to invoke your mercy. All-merciful One, you have marked out for us the paths of repentance! Therefore, full of remorse and penance, kneeling and bowing down, I come to pray for myself, my husband and children before your throne. Do not deprive us of the grace you have bestowed on me and mine from our youth. Hear my prayer with mercy in the present time of grace, as you once cried out to your faithful servant Moses: I forgive as you ask. (Numbers 14:20)
Die Sünden, die wir mit betrübten Herzen bekennen, vergieb, und richte uns nicht mit Strenge, denn wer könnte dann vor dir bestehen. Laß vielmehr deine Eigenschaften des Wohlwollens und der Barmherzigkeit vorwalten; und durch diese deine Barmherzigkeit, wende mir, und den Meinigen deine Gnade zu, und wende ab von uns alle Uebel, Amen.	Forgive the sins we confess with sorrowful hearts, and judge us not with severity, for who then could stand before you. Rather, let your attributes of benevolence and mercy prevail; and by this your mercy, turn your grace to me and mine, and turn away from us all evil, Amen.

It first appears in the 1829 edition, תחנות Teḥinot ein Gebetbuch für gebildete Frauenzimmer mosaicher Religion as teḥinah №40 on pp. 51-52. In the 1835 edition, it appears as teḥinah №39 pp. 62-63. In the 1842 edition, it appears as teḥinah №41 on pp. 65-66.

We welcome corrections and improvements. The transcription of the German from Latin script in Fraktur type provided machine-readable text for a machine translation by DeepL, which we then edited for accuracy and clarity. –Aharon Varady

Yehoshua Heshil Miro

Yehoshua Heshil ben Rabbi Binyamin Miro (fl. first-half 19th c.) was a writer and Jewish educator in Prussia, an early advocate and teacher of Jewish girls. He worked as a professor at a private school, and a teacher at the Königliche Wilhelms-Schule (and possibly also the Industrial School for Israelite Girls), in then Prussian Breslau. We know very little else about Miro aside from his publication of a popular anthology of teḥinot for German speaking women first published in 1829. If you know more about Miro, please contact us.

Additional Notes:

The views expressed in this work represent the views of their creator(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Open Siddur Project's developers, its diverse community of contributors, patrons, or institutional partners.
We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.
If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.

Support this work: The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, 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. If you like what you've found here, please help keep our project alive and online with your financial contribution.
