Let them carry out their work faithfully<br />
and teach our children the maximum that is truly good for them.<br />
Let all those involved in teaching children be honest and upright<br />
so as not to spoil the schoolchildren&#8217;s holy breath,<br />
which is untainted by sin.<br />
Let their breath rise up and appear before you and find favor.<br />
Hear their words, and remember the covenant with our ancestors.<br />
Sweeten and remove all harsh judgments and decrees against the house of Yisra&#8217;el<br />
decreed against the whole people of Yisra&#8217;el, or against individuals.<br />
Sweeten all the decrees against us —<br />
those that have already been sealed and those that have not —<br />
in the merit of the innocent breath of the schoolchildren.

<p>Reb Noson&#8217;s Liqutei Tefillot I:37 was first translated to English and published by Avraham Greenbaum in <a href="https://books.breslov.org/product/the-fiftieth-gate-volume-2/"><em>The Fiftieth Gate Volume 2: Prayers 21-40</em></a> (Breslov Research Insitute 1992). Greenbaum is a far better translator than I, but his style sometimes abridges the text and in some case omits important phrases. I have attempted to correct passages omitted from his translation by first setting down the entire text opposite his translation, adding all citation references, and making additional changes. Lacunae still remain, so please if you can, help to make a more complete translation of this prayer.</p>
<p>This prayer is tagged with our &#8220;problematic prayers&#8221; tag since it contains curses that we believe should be contextualized within the anti-Enlightenment and reactionary currents of 19th century Jewry. Amidst these anxieties is an admonishment on gazing at women which may be misapplied, we believe, to the repression of women visible in the public sphere. We share this prayer for historical interest and the possibility of revision through adaptive reuse.</p>

Blessed One-ness</p>
<p>We forget a lot:<br />
Data and addresses,<br />
Old loves and enemies,<br />
Where we put the keys<br />
And where we put the freedoms. </p>
<p>But there are the people who remember<br />
Or who remember where to look when it’s time to remember—<br />
Librarians<br />
Archivists<br />
Collectors<br />
Even hoarders<br />
Cataloguing the past,<br />
Keeping knowledge safe,<br />
Sometimes at great risk<br />
Because the first thing dictators do<br />
Is ban books, history, music, science, art and journalism. </p>
<p>But libraries keep our stuff safe<br />
Until it’s time to emerge.<br />
The monks of the Middle Ages<br />
The archivists of the Warsaw Ghetto<br />
The librarians of MAGA America<br />
Are heroes<br />
And we give thanks. </p>
<p>May they have all the courage they need.<br />
<em>Amen</em>
