While a dramatic moment in the service, it always seemed a little *too* grand to represent a prayer of humility. This is a version of it I wrote in an attempt to make myself more comfortable at that moment. –Rabbi Oren Steinitz Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): This prayer by Lior bar-Ami for the ḥazzan of services during the Yamim Noraim (days of awe) was first offered in German and English in 2020.
