<p>This is the tkhine for candlemaking on erev Yom Kippur as found in Sarah bat Tovim&#8217;s Tkhine of Three Gates, likely written by her sometime in the early 18th century. The transcription was drawn from that of Rabbi Tracy Klirs published with her HUC dissertation and subsequently published by HUC Press in <em>In the Merit of Our Mothers</em> (1991). I have made light changes to the translation, re-Hebraizing loshen qodesh and biblical names, and presenting Hashem as gender-neutral. For more on this tkhine and the custom of measuring graves before Yom Kippur, find Chava Weissler&#8217;s work &#8220;For the Human Soul is the Lamp of the Lord: The Tkhine for Laying Wicks by Sarah bas Tovim&#8221; (in <em>Studies in Polish Jewry, vol 10: Jews in Early Modern Poland</em>, ed. Gershon David Hundert, 1997). &#8211;Aharon Varady</p>

Hier auf den Stätten der Verwesung will ich mein Herz für die erhabene Weihe des Versöhnungsfestes, dessen heilige Stunden nun heranrücken, vorzubereiten suchen. Wo anders wäre wohl eine geheiligte Stätte zu frommen Betrachtungen; zu einer demuthsvollen Ueberschau des Lebens, als da, wo der Tod uns seine Lehren gibt und in so beredter, eindringlicher Sprache zu uns redet! Hier an den Grenzsteinen alles menschlichen Strebens, wo die hochfahrendsten Hoffnungen und Wünsche des menschlichen Herzens unter dem Moder des Grabes zur Ruhe gewiesen sind, lernen wir die Dinge des Lebens ihrem wahren Werthe nach schätzen und würdigen. Hier lernen wir, was eitel ist und was des Strebens werth, was bleibend ist und was vergänglich, was wir fliehen und was wir suchen sollen, um einst im Gerichte vor dir, mein Gott, zu bestehen. – Im Geräusche und Gewühle der Welt, da wird unser Blick gefangen durch die Blendwerke des Truges, unser Ohr bethört von den Lockungen der Verführung und der Lüge; der Wahrheit Himmelsstimme hallet fruchtlos an uns vorüber. Doch hier an der Seite der Entschlafenen erhebt die Wahrheit ihr Haupt, denn der Tod legt das Zeugniß für sie ab! Der Tod, der den Schleier zerreißt, den Trug zerstört und die Lüge entlarvt. Da erkennen wir, wie vergänglich alle irdische Größe und aller irdische Glanz, vergänglich aller irdische Genuß und aller irdische Besitz, und nichts bleibend ist als die Wahrheit und die Tugend. –

Here in the places of decay I will seek to prepare my heart for the sublime consecration of the Day of Atonement, whose holy hours are now approaching. Where else could there be a sanctuary for pious contemplation, for a humble survey of life, but where death gives us its teachings and speaks to us in such eloquent and forceful language! It is here, at the landmarks of all human endeavour, where the most exalted hopes and desires of the human heart are laid to rest under the mold of the grave, that we learn to appreciate and acknowledge the things of life according to their true value. Here we learn what is vain and what is worth striving for, what is permanent and what is transient, what we should flee and what we should seek in order to stand in judgment before you, my God. – In the noises and hustle and bustle of the world, our eyes are captured by the dazzling effects of deception, our ears are beguiled by the lure of seduction and lies; the voice of heaven&#8217;s truth passes us by fruitlessly. But here, at the side of those who have fallen asleep, the truth raises its head, for death bears witness to it! Death that tears the veil, destroys deceit and exposes the lie. There we see how transitory all earthly greatness and all earthly splendour, all earthly enjoyment and all earthly possessions are, and nothing is permanent but truth and virtue. –

Bedarf denn etwa das Kind eines Vermittlers seinem Vater gegenüber? – Wenn wir eure Gräber besuchen, so wollen wir nur die Erinnerung an euch und eure Tugenden in uns beleben, auf daß euer frommes Beispiel zu allem Guten uns ermuntere und von der Sünde abhalte.

And you transfigured souls whose mortal shells rest here, your spirit looking down upon me in kindness. I do not ask for your intercession on God&#8217;s throne, O no, far be such a thought from me, for with God the All-Loving there is no intercession and advocacy of needs. Does the child of a mediator need a mediator to his father? – When we visit your graves, we wish only to revive in us the memory of you and your virtues, so that your pious example may encourage us to all good and keep us from sin. In this way you are the guardian spirits that walk before us, the good angels who carry us on their hands and remove every stone from our path. And for this, God bless you, you dear souls, with His most beautiful heavenly blessing, with the eternal delights of His heavenly kingdom. <em>Amen</em>.
