The first Rosh haShanah ritual ceremony was co-developed by Rabbi Jill Hammer and Kohenet Sarah Chandler. My contribution of the kavvanah came a year later in 2010. The text presented here was built upon that ceremony and was presented first at the Hazon Detroit Jewish Food Festival in 2016. . . .

The English translation for “Mi She-Anna La-Imahot,” by Yael Levine was made in 2018. . . .

Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., אלול elul, English vernacular prayer, תחינות teḥinot, תשובה teshuvah, זמן תשובה Zman teshuvah Contributor(s): This poem was composed at the end of August 2020 / Elul 5780 as part of Rabbi Katy Allen’s Earth Etudes for Elul 5780. . . . This is an egalitarian version of the Aneinu litany recited at the end of Seliḥot services, featuring equal representation for the women of the Tanakh and Talmud. . . . Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., עננו anenu, Avot and Imahot, egalitarian, סליחות səliḥot, זמן תשובה Zman teshuvah Contributor(s): I tried to look at different aspects of what we as Jews contemplate and think about as we move towards the High Holy Days. God’s view of what we did out of fear and loneliness and perhaps why we can never see God’s face and for us to reflect on how we act in the world and what God has asked us of in this lifetime. This poem/prayer is perhaps a little rough, that was intentional. Rather than being a true historical commentary on Elul, I tried to tell a little story about it. . . . Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., במדבר Bamidbar, אלול elul, English vernacular prayer, Prayers as poems, זמן תשובה Zman teshuvah Contributor(s): The Opening Prayer given in the U.S. House of Representatives on 5 September 2023. . . .

The opening frame is from the Tokheḥah and the closing line from Eikhah. The only hope is that we do teshuvah and stop the war and the violence now. The language is an adaptation of Hebrew of piyyutim and seliḥot. –Aryeh Cohen . . .
