Avinu Malkenu –
Hear Our Voice.
As we begin the New Year 5777,
we reflect upon the year that has just passed:
a year where we didn't acheive our best,
and our world hasn't acheived its highest hopes.
and our world hasn't acheived its highest hopes.
Avinu Malkenu -
Hear the sound of our pleading,
listen to the voice of our prayers.
Avinu Malkenu –
Bestow upon us the strength to change,
the fortitude to grow,
the willingness to move beyond ourselves.
Avinu Malkenu –
As we call upon you,
may our cries awaken something deep within us:
the voice of our conscience,
that struggles with apathy, indifference, and laziness.
May our cries rouse us to return to our best selves,
May our cries stir us to feel empathy and compassion,
May our cries move us to make a difference.
and may 5777,
be a year of peace,
a year of growth,
and a
year of change.
Rabbi Andy Gordon
