🆕 הוֹשִׁיעָה נָא לשנת תשפ״ה | Hosha-na for Rebuilding, Sukkot 5785 — by Shoshana Michael Zucker

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.
