Sounds of Unity - Daily Minyan Reading - September 17, 2024

The Temple, Congregation B’nai Jehudah

Original Reading
September 17, 2024

There are sounds the resound across the generations
There are declarations that retain their meaning throughout history
If we see one another as human beings 
Deserving of respect and acceptance 
On this day, in the history of this nation that provides us with safe harbor, 
Those special sounds, preserved in a secular yet revered document, are carefully selected words in English, 
That have meaning beyond their vernacular 
We - ANACHNU
People - AM
UNION - HITACHDUT
Justice - TZEDEK UMISHPAT
Tranquility - SHALOM
Blessings of liberty - BIRCHOT HACHEIRUT
Our daily prayers ask our Divine Author of Freedom 
To Sound the great shofar of Freedom 
T’KA B’SHOFAR GADOL L’CHEIRUTEINU
As we hear the sound of the shofar on this 14th day 
Of the month of Elul as the New Year approaches,
May these sounds bring us a sense of unity, tranquility, freedom, and TIKVAH -  hope.
