-(st3 '' When the Lord will reveal His kingship, the earth will exult; the multitudes of islands will rejoice. Clouds and dense darkness will surround Him; justice and mercy will be the foundation of His throne. Fire will go before Him and consume His foes all around. His lightnings will illuminate the world; the earth will see and tremble. The mountains will melt like wax before the Lord, before the Master of all the earth. The heavens will declare His justice, and all the nations will behold His glory. All who worship graven images, who take pride in idols, will be ashamed; all idol worshippers will prostrate themselves before Him. Zion will hear and rejoice, the towns of Judah will exult, because of Your judgments, 0 Lord. For You, Lord, transcend all the earth; You are exceedingly exalted above all the supernal beings. You who love the Lord, hate evil; He watches over the souls of His pious ones, He saves them from the hand of the wicked.

linm A Psalm by David. Render to the Lord, children of


the mighty, render to the Lord honor and strength. Render to the Lord the honor due to His Name; bow down to the Lord in resplendent holiness. The voice of the Lord is over the waters, the God of glory thunders; the Lord is over mighty waters. The voice of the Lord resounds with might; the voice of the Lord resounds with majesty. The voice of the Lord breaks cedars; the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon. He makes them leap like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox. The voice of the Lord strikes flames of fire. The voice of the Lord makes the desert tremble; the Lord causes the desert of Kadesh to tremble. The voice of the Lord causes the does to calve, and strips the forests bare; and in His Sanctuary all proclaim His glory. The Lord sat [as King] at the Flood; the Lord will sit as King forever. The Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.'

WELCOMING THE SHABBAT

H37P Just' as they [the six sefirot (divine attributes)] unite above into oneness, so she [malchut (kingship)]unites below into the mystery of oneness, so as to be with them aboveunity paralleling unity. The Holy One, blessed be He, who is One above, does not take His seat upon His Throne of Glory until she enters into the mystery of oneness, similar to His, to be oneness corresponding to Oneness. This, as we have stated, is the esoteric meaning of the words: "The Lord2 is One, and His Name is One."'
Ht'l The mystery of Shabbat: She [malchut] is on Shabbat

united within the mystery of Oneness so that the [supernal] mystery of Oneness may rest upon her. [This takes place during] the Maariv Prayer of Shabbat eve, for then the holy Throne of Glory merges into the mystery of Oneness, and is ready for the holy transcendent King to rest upon it. As Shabbat arrives, she merges into Oneness, and is separated from the "other side," and all strict judgments are severed from her. And she remains in unity with the holy light, and crowns herself with many crowns for the holy King. Then all powers of wrath and all adversaries flee from her and vanish, and no other power reigns in any of the worlds. Her countenance is irradiated with a supernal light, and she crowns herself here below with the holy people, all of whom are crowned with new souls. Then the commencement of the prayer is to bless her with joy and radiant co~ntenance.~
When praylng w~thout minyan, reclte the followrng whrle standing: a

lnl7l And say: Bless the Lord who is blessed. The word nN

(the) refers to Shabbat eve. "Blessed be the Lord who is blessed" is that which elicits the blessings from the source of life and the place from whence issue all streams to irrigate all things. And because it is the source, the mystery of the "sign," it is called "the blessed." It is the stream of the wellspring. And since they [the blessings] reach there, they all [flow] for all eternity. And this is [the meaning of]: Blessed be the Lord who is blessed for a l eternity. l

As His children beheld His might, they extolled and offered praise to His Name, and willingly accepted His sovereignty; Moses and the children of Israel with great joy raised their voices in song to You, and they all proclaimed: 'n Who is like You among the supernal beings, 0 Lord! Who is like You, resplendent in holiness, awesome in praise, performing wonders!' Your children beheld Your sovereignty as You split the sea before Moses. "This is my God!"' they exclaimed, and declared, "The Lord shall reign forever and ever."' And it is said: For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, and delivered him from a power mightier than he.4 Blessed are You, Lord, who has delivered Israel. Con$. Amen.

MAARlV FOR Y O M KIPPUR

THE AMIDAH

Gently strike the left side of your chest lover the heart) with a closed fist when saying the words we are obligated.

And for the sins for which we are obligated to bring a burnt-offering. And for the sins for which we are obligated to bring a sin-offering. And for the sins for which we are obligated to bring a varying offering [according to one's means]. And for the sins for which we are obligated to bring a guilt-offering for a certain or doubtful trespass. And for the sins for which we incur the penalty of lashing for rebelliousness. And for the sins for which we incur the penalty of forty lashes. And for the sins for which we incur the penalty of death by the hand of Heaven. And for the sins for which we incur the penalty of excision and childlessness. And for the sins for which we incur the penalty of the four forms of capital punishment executed by the Court: stoning, burning, decapitation and strangulation.

Sp For [transgressing] positive and prohibitory rnitzvot, whether [the prohibitions] can be rectified by a specifically prescribed act' or not, those of which we are aware and those of which we are not aware; those of which we are aware, we have already declared them before You and confessed them to You, and those of which we are not aware-before You they are revealed and known, as it is stated: The hidden things belong to the Lord our God, but the revealed things are for us and for our children forever, that we may carry out all the words of this Torah.' For You are the Pardoner of Israel and the Forgiver of the tribes of Yeshurun3in every generation, and aside from You we have no King who forgives and pardons.
*;ISN My God, before I was created I was not worthy [to be created], and now that I have been created it is as if I had not been created. .I am dust in my life, how much more so in my death. Indeed, before You I am like a vessel filled with shame and disgrace. May it be Your will, Lord my God and God of my fathers, that I shall sin no more, and the sins which I have committed before You, erase them in Your abounding mercies, but not through suffering or severe illness.

acts with benevolence, forgiving the wrongdoings of His people, removing every first sin, many times granting forgiveness to inadvertent sinners and pardon to willful transgressors; He deals charitably with each living being, not requiting them according to their wickedness. Chazzan: Almighty One, You have taught us to recite the Thirteen [Attributes of Mercy]; remember this day in our behalf, the Covenant of the Thirteen [Attributes], as You have made known to [Moses] the humble one in days gone by, as it is written: And the Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and he invoked the Name of the Lord.' 73y91And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed: '7 Lord, Lord, benevolent God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in kindness and truth; He preserves kindness for two thousand generations, forgiving iniquity, transgression and sin, and He cleanses.' Pardon our wrongdoings and our sins, and take us as Your own possession.' nSD Pardon us, our Father, for we have sinned; forgive us, our King, for we have transgressed. For You, my Lord, are good and forgiving, and exceedingly kind to all who call upon You.4 ;I~vN;TLord, hear our prayer and listen to the voice of our supplications.' Hearken to the sound of our cry, our King, our God, for to You do we pray.6 Let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open to the prayer of Your servants, Your people Israel.' And hear from heaven, the place of Your abode, their prayer and their supplication, and uphold their cause; pardon Your people who have sinned against You." bnv As a father has compassion on his children, so, Lord have compassion on us. Deliverance is the Lord's; may Your blessing be upon Your people forever.' The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our everlasting stronghold.'"Lord of hosts, happy is the man who trusts in You."

Silence the Accuser and let the Advocate take his place; may the Lord be his support, in order that He may declare: I have pardoned. May the merit of Abraham burst forth on behalf of [Israel] the rose; remove sin and raise a mighty voice from heaven: I have pardoned. 0 benevolent and forgiving One, pardon and forgive wrongdoing. 0 God, hearken and reply from the heavens: I have pardoned. Bind the wound and conceal my iniquity in the depths; it is Your praise to say the word in my behalf: I have pardoned. Erase transgressions as well as evil from the children of the Covenant; exercise Your kindness, indeed, it is Your glory [to declare] to the remnant of Israel: I have pardoned.

Gently strike the left side of your chest (over the heart) with a closed fist when saying the words we are obligated.

And for the sins for which we are obligated to bring a burntoffering. And for the sins for which we are obligated to bring a sin-offering. And for the sins for which we are obligated to bring a varying offering [according to one's means]. And for the sins for which we are obligated to bring a guiltoffering for a certain or doubtful trespass. And for the sins for which we incur the penalty of lashing for rebelliousness. And for the sins for which we incur the penalty of forty lashes. And for the sins for which we incur the penalty of death by the hand of Heaven. And for the sins for which we incur the penalty of excision and childlessness. And for the sins for which we incur the penalty of the four forms of capital punishment executed by the Court: stoning, burning, decapitation and strangulation.

'7p For [transgressing] positive and prohibitory mitzvot, whether [the prohibitions] can be rectified by a specifically prescribed act' or not, those of which we are aware and those of which we are not aware; those of which we are aware, we have already declared them before You and confessed them to You, and those of which we are not aware-before You they are revealed and known, as it is stated: The hidden things belong to the Lord our God, but the revealed things are for us and for our children forever, that we may carry out all the words of this Torah.'
flfl David, Your servant, declared before You: Who can discern inadvertent wrongs? Purge me of hidden sins.' Purge us, Lord our God, of all our transgressions, cleanse us of all our defilements, and sprinkle purifying waters upon us and purify us, as it is written by Your prophet: And I will sprinkle purifying waters upon you, and you shall be pure; from all your defilements and from all your idolatries I will purift you.'

SELICHOT

33% Micah, Your servant, declared before You: Who is a

God like You, who pardons iniquity and forgives transgression for the remnant of His heritage? He does not maintain His wrath forever, for He desires [to do] kindness. He will again show us mercy, He will suppress our iniquities; and You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.' And You will cast all the sins of Your people, the House of Israel, into a place where they shall never be remembered nor recalled nor brought to mind. And it is said: You will grant truth to Jacob, kindness to Abraham, as You have sworn to our fathers from the days of yore.'
SN91 Daniel, the amiable one, cried out to You: Give ear, my God, and hear; open Your eyes and behold our desolate places and the city upon which Your Name is proclaimed, for it is not on account of our own righteousness that we offer our supplications before You, but because of Your abounding mercies. My Lord, hear; my Lord, forgive; my Lord, hearken and take action, do not delay, for Your own sake, my God, for Your Name is proclaimed over Your city and Your people.'

HTY Ezra the Scribe declared before You: My God, I am embarrassed, I am ashamed to lift my face to You, for our iniquities have increased over [our] head and our guilt has grown up to the heavens.Qut You are a God of forgiveness, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in kindness, and You have not forsaken them.5 Do not forsake us, our Father; do not abandon us, our Creator; do not desert us, our Maker; do not destroy us because of our sins; and fulfill for us, Lord our God, the promise that which You have made to us in Scripture through Jeremiah the prophet, as it is said: In those days, at the time, says the Lord, the iniquity of Israel will be sought but there will be none, and the sins of Judah, but they will not be found; for I will pardon those whom I will leave as a remnant." Your people and Your heritage who hunger for Your goodness, thirst for Your kindness, yearn for Your deliverance, let them recognize and know that mercy and pardon belong to the Lord our God.

M A A R I V FOR YOM KIPPUR


On a weeknight, continue with Alrinu, next page. On Friday night, add the following:

iintD A Psalm by David. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall lack

nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters. He revives my soul; He directs me in paths of righteousness for the sake of His Name. Even if I will walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff-they will comfort me. You will prepare a table for me before my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; my cup is full. Only goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the House of the Lord for many long years.'
Chazzan recites Half Kaddish. Congregation responds Amen as indicated.

1'y It is incumbent upon us to praise the Master of all 35 things, to exalt the Creator of all existence, that He has not made us like the nations of the world, nor caused us to be like the families of the earth; that He has not assigned us a portion like theirs, nor a lot like that of all their multitudes, for they bow to vanity and nothingness. But we bend the knee, bow down, and offer praise before the supreme King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He, who stretches forth the heavens and establishes the earth, the seat of whose glory is in the heavens above and the abode of whose majesty is in the loftiest heights. He is our God; there is none else. Truly, He is our King; there is nothing besides Him, as it is written in His Torah:' Know this day and take unto your heart that the Lord is God; in the heavens above and upon the earth below there is nothing else.' Sftl And therefore we hope to You, Lord our God, that we may speedily behold the splendor of Your might, to banish idolatry from the earth-and false gods will be utterly destroyed; to perfect the world under the sovereignty of the Almighty. All mankind shall invoke Your Name, to turn to You all the wicked of the earth. Then all the inhabitants of the world will recognize and know that every knee should bend to You, every tongue should swear [by Your Name]. Before You, Lord our God, they will bow and prostrate themselves, and give honor to the glory of Your Name; and they will all take upon themselves the yoke of Your kingdom. May You soon reign over them forever and ever, for Kingship is Yours, and to all eternity You will reign in glory, as it is written in Your Torah: The Lord will reign forever and ever. ' And it is said: The Lord shall be King over the entire earth; on that day the Lord shall be One and His Name One."

To your old age I am [with you]; to your hoary years I will sustain you; 1 have made you, and I will carry you; I will sustain you and deliver yow3
f N Indeed, the righteous will extol Your Name; the upright will dwell in Your pre~ence.~
