All vows, and binding statements, and oaths, bans, restrictions, penalties, and every term that sets things out of bounds; all that we vow and swear, ban or bar from ourselves, from this Yom Kippur to next Yom Kippur (let it be for good), each one of them we regret. Let each one be released, forgotten, undone, null and void, not in force and not in effect. Our vows are no longer vows, and our prohibitions are no longer prohibitions, and our oaths are no longer oaths.

Praise God in the sanctuary;
praise God in the powerful heavens.
Praise God for the mighty acts;
praise God for infinite greatness.
Praise God with shofar calls;
praise God with harp and lyre.
Praise God with drum and dance;
praise God with flute and strings.
Praise God with crashing cymbals;
praise God with resounding cymbals.
Let all that breathes praise Adonai –
Halleluyah!

Praise Adonai, to whom all prayer is directed

Adonai Tz’va·ot is Your name.
Living and ever-present God,
May Your rule be with us, forever and ever.
Praised are You, Adonai,
who brings each evening’s dusk.
. . . For your laws and mitzvot are our life
and the fullness of our days, and on them we
will meditate day and night. May You never
withdraw your love from us.

With timeless love You have loved Your
people, the house of Israel: You have taught
us Torah and mitzvot, statutes and laws.
Therefore, Adonai our God, as we lie down
and as we rise, we shall speak of Your laws,
rejoicing in the words of your Torah and in
Your mitzvot forever and ever. For they are
our life and the fullness of our days; we shall
meditate on them day and night. Do not ever
withdraw your love from us.
Praised are You, who loves the people Israel.

Let us speak of the sacred power of this
day – profound and awe-inspiring. On it,
Your sovereignty is celebrated, and Your
throne, from which You rule in truth, is
established with love. Truly, You are Judge
and Prosecutor, Expert, and Witness,
completing the indictment, bringing the case,
and enumerating the counts. You recall all
that is forgotten, and will open the book of
remembrance, which speaks for itself,
for our own hands have signed the page.
The great shofar will be sounded and the still
small voice will be heard. Angels will be
alarmed, seized with fear and trembling,
declaring, “This very day is the Day of
Judgment” – for even the hosts of heaven
are judged; no one is innocent in Your sight.
All that lives on earth will pass before You
like a flock of sheep. As a shepherd
examines the flock, making each sheep
pass under the staff; so You will review
and number and count, judging each living
being, determining the fate of everything in
creation, inscribing their destiny.

It is for us to praise the Ruler of all,
to acclaim the Creator,
who has not made us merely a nation,
nor formed us as all earthly families,
nor given us an ordinary destiny.
And so we bow,
acknowledging the supreme sovereign,
the Holy One, who is praised.

gratitude or consolation ever spoken in the
world. And respond with: Amen.
May abundant peace from heaven, and life,

Willingly and lovingly accept our prayer.
Turn us toward You, Adonai,
and we will return to You;
make our days seem fresh,
as they once were.
Do not cast us away from You;
take not Your holy presence from us.
Do not cast us away as we grow old;
do not desert us as our energy wanes.

Barukh atah shome·a t’filah.
Here I stand, impoverished in merit, trembling
in the presence of the One who hears the
prayers of Israel. Even though I am unfit and
unworthy for the task, I come to represent
Your people Israel and plead on their behalf.
Therefore, gracious and merciful Adonai,
awe-inspiring God of Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob, of Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah,
I pray that I might successfully seek
compassion for myself
and those who send me. . . .
May our faith in You be accepted lovingly
and may Your love cover over our sins.
Transform our afflictions and those of all
Israel to joy and gladness, life and peace. . . .
Praised are You, merciful God, who hears prayer.

Ani Adonai eloheikhem.
U-v’divrei kodsh’kha katuv leimor:
Yimlokh Adonai l’olam, elohayikh tziyon

We revere and sanctify You on earth as
your name is sanctified in heaven,
as Your prophet Isaiah described:
Each cried out to the other:
“Holy, holy, holy is Adonai Tz’va-ot,
the whole world is filled with God’s glory!”
God’s glory fills the universe. One angelic
chorus asks, “Where is the place of God’s
glory?” Another responds:
“Praised is Adonai’s glory wherever God
dwells.”
From where God dwells, may God turn with
compassion toward the people who twice
each day, evening and morning, lovingly
proclaim God’s oneness, reciting the Sh’ma:
“Hear, O Israel, Adonai is our God,
Adonai is one.”
The Holy One is our God, our creator, our
sovereign, our redeemer. Yet again, God will
in mercy proclaim to us before all that lives:
“I Adonai, am your God.”
As the psalmist sang:
“Adonai will reign forever; your God, O Zion,
from generation to generation, Halleluyah!”

ones who have gone to their eternal home.
And may God remember the souls of our six
million brothers and sisters who perished in
the Shoah, and the souls of those who
fought for freedom in the Armed Forces of
the United States, and the souls of those in
the Israeli Defense Forces who gave up
their lives in holiness. May their souls be
bound up in the bond of life. May these
moments of meditation strengthen the ties
that link us to their memory. May they rest
in peace forever in God’s presence. Amen.

When you walk through a storm,
Hold your head up high,
And don’t be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm
There’s a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart,
And you’ll never walk alone,
You’ll never walk alone.
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart,
And you’ll never walk alone,
You’ll never walk alone.

May the one who blessed our ancestors
bless this entire congregation, together with
all other holy congregations. And also those
who establish synagogues for prayer, as
well as those who enter them to pray, and
those who provide for their maintenance,
food for guests, and tzedakah for the poor,
and all who faithfully devote themselves to
the needs of the community. May the Holy
One reward them, remove sickness from
them, heal them, and forgive their sins.
May God bless them by making all their
worthy endeavors prosper, as well as those
of the entire people Israel.
And let us say: Amen.
