Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., English vernacular prayer, ḥeshbon nefesh, סליחות səliḥot, זמן תשובה Zman teshuvah Contributor(s): The Hebrew for “מִי שֶׁעָנָה לָאִמָּהוֹת” by Yael Levine was first published, with an introduction and a commentary, in September 2017, at kipa.co.il. The English translation for “Mi She-Anna La-Imahot,” by Yael Levine was made in 2018. . . . There is a famous Seliḥot prayer where each of its lines has this structure: “May He who answered ___________, may he answer us.” The blank refers to assorted Biblical figures who faced great challenges, ranging from Avraham the Patriarch to Ezra the Scribe. The traditional list is also VERY male-focused, with the standard text only listing Esther from all the great Biblical women. This is a shame, and many have tried to remedy this. I have found myself under the opinion that all these remedies have a fault – they attempt to combine the original text with the new text. This means either the original text is shortened, or the full text is far too long. As well, the structure is very male-oriented as well, appealing to God’s male side and only using grammatically male language. . . . A thought about the need to seek forgiveness from those you’ve wronged during this week before Yom Kippur: . . . Categories: Days of Judgement & New Year Days, Repenting, Resetting, and Reconciliation, Separation, Self-Reflection Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., Aseret Yemei Tshuvah, Between people, beyn adam l'adam, Due deferrence, self-forgiveness, סליחות səliḥot, תוכחות tokheḥot, זמן תשובה Zman teshuvah Contributor(s): “The personal prayer of this shaliaḥ tsibbur” with a translation of the piyyut “Oḥilah la’El” was first published on Facebook by Yosef Goldman and shared through the Open Siddur Project via its Facebook discussion group. . . .

Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., English vernacular prayer, paraliturgical seliḥot, סליחות səliḥot, תחינות teḥinot Contributor(s): The Raḥamana piyyut is a litany beloved in Sephardic and Mizraḥi communities, a standard part of their Seliḥoth services throughout the month of Elul and the days of repentance. Traditionally it cites a list of Biblical men (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Pinhas, David, and Solomon) and asks to be remembered for their merit and their covenants, for the sake of “Va-yaŋabor” — the first word of Exodus 34:6, the introduction to the verses of the Thirteen Attributes recited in Seliḥoth services. This text instead uses Biblical women (Sarah, Rebecca, Leah and Rachel, Serach, Miriam, Deborah, Ruth, Hannah, and Esther). . . . Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., Aramaic, Biblical Women, egalitarian, פיוטים piyyuṭim, סליחות səliḥot, traditional egalitarian Contributor(s): This short piyut touches on these four themes related to Shmitah: release of debts, the rights of the land, the rights of wild animals (who share our food during Shmitah), and the freeing of slaves. The piyut would fit as part of Seliḥot before Rosh haShanah and during Yom Kippur. . . . Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): | ||
