הודוּ לְאֵל הַשָּׁמָיִם כִּי לְעולָם חַסְדּו:

Hodu, Psalm 136 (Shomrim Hafked Melody)

Ya'aleh Tachanuneinu (May Our Prayers Rise!) is a medeival piyyut for the High Holy Days that we sing during Selichot services. This musical poem sends out our pleas that over the Yamim Noarim, our prayers may ascend to G!d in the evening, arrive (at G!d's 'front desk' as it were) in the early morning, and be answered/revealed by the time the day closes.

This melody is by Rabbi Julia Andelman, and at KT this year we'll sing it for the last 4 verses of the piyyut, shown below. 

May our voices arise and may our prayers be received!
 
יַעֲלֶה יִשְׁעֵֽנוּ מֵעֶֽרֶב.
וְיָבֹא טָהֳרֵֽנוּ מִבֹּֽקֶר.
וְיֵרָאֶה חִנּוּנֵֽנוּ עַד עָֽרֶב:
 
יַעֲלֶה זִכְרוֹנֵֽנוּ מֵעֶֽרֶב.
וְיָבֹא וִעוּדֵֽנוּ מִבֹּֽקֶר.
וְיֵרָאֶה הַדְרָתֵֽנוּ עַד עָֽרֶב:
 
יַעֲלֶה דָפְקֵֽנוּ מֵעֶֽרֶב.
וְיָבֹא גִילֵֽנוּ מִבֹּֽקֶר.
וְיֵרָאֶה בַקָּשָׁתֵֽנוּ עַד עָֽרֶב:
 
יַעֲלֶה אֶנְקָתֵֽנוּ מֵעֶֽרֶב.
וְיָבֹא אֵלֶֽיךָ מִבֹּֽקֶר.
וְיֵרָאֶה אֵלֵֽינוּ עַד עָֽרֶב
 
Ya'aleh yishenu me'erev, 
v'yavo taharenu miboker,
v'y'raeh chinuneinu ad arev.
 
Ya'aleh zichroneinu me'erev, 
v'yavo videnu miboker, 
v'y'raeh hadarateinu ad arev.
 
Ya'aleh dofkenu me'erev, 
v'yavo gilenu miboker,

Ya'aleh enkatenu me'erev,

v'y'raeh eilenu ad arev
 
May our journey to salvation arise this evening, 
May our purest selves come by tomorrow morning, 
May our grace arise within us by next nightfall.
 
May our memory arise this evening, 
May our community unite by tomorrow morning, 
May we see Your splendor by next nightfall.
 
May our knocking upon Your gates arise this evening, 
May our joyfulness come by tomorrow morning,
May our search for You be crowned by next nightfall.
 
May our weeping arise this evening, 
May it reach You by tomorrow morning. 
May You answer us by next nightfall.

Avinu Malkeinu

Nishmat Kol Chai - Joey Weisenberg

Ein Kitzvah – Gd is Infinite, indescribable, and immeasurable. Hashem, Your
imperceptible Name is worthy of You, and our name, Yisrael, contains Your Name.
“Sanctify Your Name through those who hallow Your Name.” This uplifting, joyous prayer takes us from the somber confrontation with our vulnerability and mortality to the exultant act of joining the Angels in praising and giving ourselves over to Gd in the Kedusha. [Melody – Modzitz Niggun]

Ein Kitzvah

B'rosh Hashana – On Rosh Hashana the decree is inscribed and on Yom Kippur it is sealed. The gemara explains that the righteous and wicked are inscribed and sealed on Rosh Hashana. The Benonim, the in betweeners, have time to repair themselves in Teshuva by Yom Kippur so that they may be inscribed in the Book of Life. [Traditional Nussach].

Ki Anu Amecha

Makom Bina - Deborah Sacks Mintz

HIGHLIGHTS: Sarah Pagé's illumination harp, Jason Sharp's earthtone saxophone, Dan Goldman's eternal guitar, Alex Lukashevsky-the-Ancient's voice in minyan. "Time, and we, must unvow or vow differently as truth reveals itself anew…" Rabbi Richard N. Levy

DESCRIPTION: 

“To vow in the face of change — yet to change the face of vows when time’s new knowledge has changed the meaning of the vow: that is the double courage we would ask tonight, this night of Kol Nidre” —Richard Levy.

Kol Nidre is an Aramaic text recited on the eve of Yom Kippur — a legal declaration that annuls all the vows we made to ourselves or to God in the past year that we could not fulfill. The Cantor, flanked by Torah scrolls held aloft as symbolic witnesses, recites the prayer three times with increasing intensity as those present are emboldened to transform themselves. This piece insists that we deserve the dignity of a clean slate, even if we have missed the mark.

According to Jewish tradition, Kol Nidre does not recuse us from the work of untying the knots we have made with others — if we have harmed another person, we must approach that person directly to make amends. If we try three times and the person’s heart will not budge, we can let it go. Kol Nidre is a cloud that floats near us, threatening rain when we've become lazy or neglectful of our authenticity. 



כָּל נִדְרֵי וֶאֱסָרֵי וּשְׁבוּעֵי וַחֲרָמֵי וְקוֹנָמֵי וְכִנּוּיֵי. וְקִנוּסֵי דִּנְדַֽרְנָא. וּדְאִשְׁתַּבַּֽעְנָא. וּדְאַחֲרִימְנָא. וּדְאָסַֽרְנָא עַל נַפְשָׁתָֽנָא. מִיּוֹם כִּפּוּרִים זֶה עַד יוֹם כִּפּוּרִים הַבָּא עָלֵֽינוּ לְטוֹבָה. בְּכֻלְּהוֹן אִחֲרַֽטְנָא בְהוֹן. כֻּלְּהוֹן יְהוֹן שָׁרָן. שְׁבִיקִין, שְׁבִיתִין, בְּטֵלִין וּמְבֻטָּלִין, לָא שְׁרִירִין וְלָא קַיָּמִין: נִדְרָֽנָא לָא נִדְרֵי. וֶאֱסָרָֽנָא לָא אֱסָרֵי. וּשְׁבוּעָתָֽנָא לָא שְׁבוּעוֹת:


All vows, bonds, devotions, promises, 
Obligations, penalties, and oaths
wherewith we have vowed, sworn
Devoted, and bound ourselves
From this Day of Atonement 
To the next Day of Atonement 
May it come to us for good 
All these we repent us of them
They shall be absolved, released, annulled
Made void and of no effect
They shall not be binding 
Nor shall they have any power 
Our vows shall not be vows
Our bonds shall not be bonds
And our oaths shall not be oaths
