Tuesday Morning Torah – September 26, 2017

A few kavanot, spiritual suggestions, as you prepare for Yom Kippur. I wish all of you a meaningful day and, to those who are fasting, an easy fast.

Master of forgiveness, examiner of hearts, Revealer of depths, declarer of righteousness, We have sinned before You. Have mercy on us! The One who dwells in wonders, Ancient One of mercy, Who remembers our ancestors’ covenant and examines inward parts, We have sinned before You. Have mercy on us! The One who is good and benefits all life, who knows all that is hidden, Subduer of transgressions, wrapped in righteousness, We have sinned before You. Have mercy on us!
