Lifne Ha-Shofar Before listening, there is awakening. Awake! before Tikkun, from the Akedah to today; from the first to the last; from our fathers and our mothers to our children and to our children’s children; from the Head of the universe to the end of Ein Sof.
This year may we return to see the shofar of the First Ram struggling with G-d before us, and may we remember to hear Truth from the still small voice within its call ---------------- Lifney Shema, yesh Tekiyah. Lifney lishmo’a, yesh l’hitorer Hitoreri! lifney Tikkun, in ha-Akedah ad ha-yom; in rishon ad ahkaron; m’avotenu v’imotenu ad banenu u’benei banu; min ha-Rosh ha-Olam ad Sof ha-EinSof.
Lu yehi ve’Nashuva HaShana Lekhezot beShofar Eylo Avraham Avinu sar im Elohim le’eneinu, v’shenizkeh lizkor shema et ha-emet m’ha-kol demamah dekah b’kola.
Tekiyah! Kol shalem: ki gam atah, YH shomea.
A complete sound: that You, Yah, are also listening.
She-var-im! Kol bekhiyah ki nihyeh re’uiim le’shimkha.
A weeping sound: that we may be worthy of Your Name.
T-e-r-u-u-a-a-a-h!
Kol shevira: koreh le’nitzotzor ruhkahka banu
A shattering sound: calling the shards of Your Spirit within us.
Tekiyah gedo(v)lah.
Kol m’tikvah: ki olamhka yetukan. A sound of hope: that Your World will be healed.
Ha-Yom. Ha-Yom. Ha-Yom. Ken yehi ratzon.
