עֲנֵנוּ |
Aneinu, Answer us |
How can this year be made holy? Let us feel full, while living a year of emptiness. Help us find peace in the confusion. Give us the power to heal. May we only learn from peace. Grant us the courage to keep seeking. | |
עֲנֵנוּ |
Answer us, let us never stop asking. Aneinu |
After struggling with the requests in Aneinu, read during Seliḥot, I composed a list of requests and questions for this upcoming Shmitah year.

The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libré 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.
ויהי נעם אדני אלהינו עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננה עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננהו "May the pleasantness of אדֹני our elo’ah be upon us; may our handiwork be established for us — our handiwork, may it be established."–Psalms 90:17
I am about to go on a sabbatical, and this prayer expresses perfectly what I hope to have happen during that sabbatical. Even though it’s a personal sabbatical rather than the shmita year (and will be a “time” rather than a “year”), this will be my prayer during that time. I’ve already copied it into the journal I will keep during the sabbatical. Thank you so much for sharing this very meaningful prayer!
