Dear God, As I prepare to eat on Yom Kippur, please help me find meaning. | |
As I nourish my body, heart, mind, and soul, may comfort envelop me. | |
May I find teshuvah by returning to my inner light. By returning to my true self. | |
May I find a community who will hold me where I am. For who I am. | |
May the words of my heart reach Your loving and compassionate presence. | |
May I find peace and holiness through eating, through connecting, through You. |
“A Prayer for Eating on Yom Kippur” was written by A Mitzvah to Eat (Sarah Osborne) and appears in הַרְחֶב פִּֽיךָ וַאֲמַלְאֵֽהוּ Open Your Mouth Wide, and I (God) Will Fill It: Prayers and Rituals for those who need to eat on Yom Kippur (2022). For a similar prayer with a translation in Hebrew, find “A Prayer for those who need to eat on fast days” (A Mitzvah to Eat 2022), p. 3.

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.
