WELCOME: YOUR PRESENCE IS A BLESSING
We come to these High Holidays, each of us in our own spot on the
continuum between extreme unease and openness to the unknown.
Closing our eyes, we can almost feel the rush of sensation that comes
with walking into the open tent: the greetings, the taking of seats, the
voices joining with one another in song.
Opening our eyes to the screens in front of us, we are woven together
through technology, and through the shared experience of having
journeyed through these months together.
Rosh HaShanah celebrates the creation and re-creation of the world.
May these services help us commit more deeply to the necessary
re-creations we are in the midst of - personally, nationally, globally.
Yom Kippur invites us to practice teshuvah, returning to what is most
precious, meaningful, and true in our lives.
As in past services, there will be lots of singing. We’ll hear the Torah
speak to themes of struggle and transformation. We’ll evoke our
breaking hearts with the cry of the shofar (ram’s horn). Kol Nidre calls us
to forgiveness and release.
If you are new to our community, don’t worry! Your service leaders
will be your guides. Take care of yourselves during services. You are
welcome to get up and stretch.
May these High Holiday services be wells of hope from which you can
draw in abundance in these uncertain times.
L’shanah tovah! Blessings for a sweet new year.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS / HINEI MAH TOV

ַ נּ ָעִים ׁשבֶת-ּטֹוב ּומַה-הנֵּה מַה
ִ
Hiney Mah tov u’ma’naim, shevet achim gam yachad.
How good it is for sisters and brothers to be here together.
Psalm 133
We come from a tale told long ago,
passed on by the waves and the wind
We’ve made it this far together you know,
come brothers and sisters let’s sing!
Come gather ‘round and hear the song,
if you’re the wandering kind
‘Cause you can make it alone but just so you know,
we leave no one behind
Our mothers and fathers who have weathered the storms
grew strong in the trials of their times,
So we brothers and sisters l’dor vador,
carry on with this song in our lives
We’ll sing out this song for years to come,
in a story without an end
For how good it is to be among our brothers and sisters and friends.

ELEMENTAL MEDITATION
Call forth a moment of earth: wood, stone, soil.
Call forth a moment of water: ocean, stream, rain.
Call forth a moment of air: wind, song, breath.
Call forth a moment of fire: candle, sun, lightning.
Let these moments ground you
As you open your heart to pray.
Rabbi Jill Hammer

BARCHU / ONE VOICE
This is the sound of one voice.
One spirit. One voice.
The sound of one who makes a choice.
This is the sound of one voice (x2)
This is the sound of voices two.
The sound of me singing with you.
Helping each other to make it through.
This is the sound of voices two (x2)
This is the sound of voices three.
Singing together in harmony.
Surrendering to the mystery.
This is the sound of voices three (x2)
This is the sound of all of us.
Singing with love and the will to trust.
Leave the rest behind it will turn to dust.
This is the sound of all of us. (x2)
This is the sound of one voice.
One people. One voice.
A song for every one of us,
This is the sound of one voice (x2)

WE ARE LOVED
We are embraced by arms that find us even when we are hidden
from ourselves.
We are touched by fingers that soothe us even when we are too proud
for soothing.
We are counseled by voices that guide us even when we are too
embittered to hear.
We are loved by an unending love.
We are supported by hands that uplift us even in the midst of a fall.
We are urged on by eyes that meet us even when we are too weak for
meeting.
We are loved by an unending love.
Embraced, touched, soothed, and counseled,
ours are the arms, the fingers, the voices;
ours are the hands, the eyes, the smiles;
We are loved by an unending love.
Lyrics by Rabbi Rami Shapiro

AMIDAH INTENTION
Hear our prayers:
That which Was, That which Is, That which Will Be.
We imagine You.
We’re listening.
Do You hear us?
We are in this glorious and troubled place
and we take responsibility for how it turns out.
Blessed Yah, may the world to come
be the world we live in.
Trisha Arlin
8AMIDAH - PRIVATE MEDITATION
Let us dream
Wildly unimaginable blessings …
Blessings so unexpected,
Blessings so beyond our hopes for this world,
Blessings so unbelievable in this era,
That their very existence
Uplifts our vision of creation,
Our relationships to each other,
And our yearning for life itself.
Let us dream
Wildly unimaginable blessings …
A complete healing of mind, body, and spirit,
A complete healing for all,
The end of suffering and strife,
The end of plague and disease,
When kindness flows from the river of love,
When goodness flows from the river of grace,
Awakened in the spirit of all beings,
When Divine light,
Radiating holiness,
Is seen by everyone.
Let us pray —
With all our hearts —
For wildly unimaginable blessings,
So that the Divine will hear the call
To open the gates of the Garden,
Seeing that we haven’t waited,
That we’ve already begun to repair the world,
In testimony to our faith in life,
Our faith in each other,
And our faith in the Holy One,
Blessed be the Universe.
Alden Solovy

O guide us into grace: justice and mercy for all.
O guide us and teach us, grant justice and mercy.
We shall be free once again.
Our Source, may we make this year a fresh beginning.
Our Strength, may we grow from life’s challenges.
Our Source, may we accept what we cannot change.
Our Strength, may we change what we can.
Our Source, may we soften into acceptance.
Our Strength, may we brighten into joy.
Our Source, may we gratefully receive what we are given.
Our Strength, may we learn how to embrace our enemies.
Chorus adapted from Rabbi Burt Jacobson
10TREE OF LIFE - ANA EL NA
O sweet Spirit, hear my prayer
Help these words heal someone out there
I am but a voice, just a cry in the air
But I sing, nonetheless, in this pain we share
O sweet friends, come and dry your eyes
And hold each other by this Tree of Life
I’m angry and tired of this great divide
But I sing, nonetheless, with love on our side
Ana El na refa na la...
(Please G!d heal her now)
O sweet souls who feel broken now
We’ll heal together, somewhere, somehow
Time and again, we have been let down
But we sing, nonetheless, still whole and still proud
Ana El na refa na la...
(Please G!d heal her now)
O sweet Spirit, hear my prayer
Help these words heal someone out there

12MOURNERS KADDISH - INTERPRETATIVE TRANSLATION
Praise the world,
praise its fullness and its longing,
its beauty and its grief.
Praise stone and fire,
lilac and river,
and the solitary bird at the window.
Praise the moment when the whole bursts through pain,
And the moment when the whole bursts forth in joy.
Praise the dying beauty with all your breath, and praising, see
The beauty of the world is your own.
Amen.
Marcia Falk
ALEINU INTENTION
It is upon us to repair the broken places.
It is upon us to face the truth no matter how difficult.
It is upon us to see that justice is complex and not always easy.
It is upon us to know when we have choices, and to make them.
It is upon us to understand that our prayers are holy conversations.
It is upon us to be mindful and to take our spirituality seriously.
It is upon us to hold more than one idea of God in our heads at any
given time.
It is upon us to enjoy our bodies without shame.
It is upon us to listen when others say no, and when they say yes.
It is upon us to have fun and to spread it around.

Sweet mother I’m coming home
Now I know I’m not alone, cause I’ve been far
Now I’m close, sweet mother I’m coming home.
Tell me mother can you hear me sing
This love is everything
Heart and soul, breath and skin, this love is everything.
Oh mother, please hold me tight.
Cause mother I need some help tonight
What went wrong, will soon be right,
Oh mother, please hold me tight.

embracing everyone who seeks a connection to
Jewish life. Every day, we share transformative
Jewish experiences and recognize ourselves as
