Yom Kippur
For on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins shall ye be clean before the LORD. It is a sabbath of solemn rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls; it is a statute for ever. [Leviticus]
In my quest for truth and justice, I can sometimes be harsh and relentless. Please accept my most sincere apologies for any words written here, or anywhere, which may have caused you hurt.
This Yom Kippur, may all our prayers be favorably heard and answered, and may we be granted forgiveness from each other and from G-d. May we all be sealed in the Books of Life, Good Health, and Prosperity.
May we go forth to Mount Zion and become a blessing for the world.

Truth
is the
Sword of Gevurah
that the Just Warrior wields with Mighty Power!
I say unto Thee:
Defend Thy Honor fiercely
with Noble Courage that Towers above the Tide.
I say unto Thee:
Feed the Hungry of Body and Spirit,
Give them Hope for Health and Livelihood.
I say unto Thee:
Protect the folk from those who would seek to steal away
their precious rights!
I say unto Thee:
Be Thou Swift to shine the Light of Truth upon
those who deceive, delude and dishonor,
hiding behind the dark veil of privilege.
Shine the Light now,
so that Ye may walk with Honor to Thy Destiny.
Rememberest Thou:
whatsoever is the will of man...
the Lord God demands Truth and Justice
from those who would seek to serve
Heaven...
Understand why it Rains, Know why the Wind Howls:
Be Wise when you are offered the Hand of Redemption!
Justice must prevail!
You are the Servant
that must Right the great Injustice that has been wrought.
(Autumn Season by Rabbi Alyjah Navy)

I have no doubt you will be granted forgiveness in His Kingdom.
Our Father, who art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
It might seem odd to offer a Christian prayer on this post about Judaism's holiest day, but, Jesus wasn't a Christian. He was a Jew.
G-d bless you Linda. You are a light in a dark world.
