Blessed are You, God of eternity, who delights in the Torah; in Moses, God's servant; in Israel, God's people;

and in prophets of truth and right.

The alternative haftarah readings "Depart in Joy, Be Led Home in Peace" (Isaiah 55:6-13) and "The Source of Your Strength" (Nehemiah 8:1-10) are on pages 334-39.

BLESSING BEFORE THE HAFTARAH. Following the Torah reading, on Shabbat and festivals, it is customary to read from the Prophets, the second of the Hebrew Bible's three sections. The Hebrew word haftarah comes from a verb meaning "conclude" or "complete," since the prophetic reading completes the reading from the Torah. Some­times the two are thematically linked; sometimes the haftarah reading relates to the season or festival during which it is read. Unlike the Torah portion, which is read from a handwritten text on a parchment scroJI without vowels or punctuation, the baftarah is usually recited using a printed text containing vowels and punctuation.

WHO DELIGHTS IN THE TORAH i111Tl:;I 1l:)13iJ. Though the Sages viewed the prophetic literature with reverence, the highest degree of sanctity was attached to the Torah, and to Moses - teacher of Torah to the people Israel. Thus the blessing before the haftarah seeks to link the prophets to Moses, and to see them as his successors in the transmis­sion and interpretation of God's words. In that sense, the Rabbinic sages who composed this blessing saw themselves as continuing the work of the prophets.

Blessed are You, God of eternity, Shield of David.

INSPIRE JOY AMONG US . . . SHIELD OF DAVID 111 PQ .. . 1Jr::n:;iW. The prophets, whose words we have just read in the haftarah, articulated both powerful social critique and inspiring visions of a better world. This b 'rachah looks toward the messianic future which, according to biblical tradition (Malachi 3:23), will be announced by the prophet Elijah. Our Sages viewed King David and his descendants as ideal rulers of Israel, embodiments of the people's mes­sianic hopes. Thus, the prayer harmoniously unites two different types ofleaders - kings and prophets - who in actual Jewish history were often antagonists. In saying these words today, we link ourselves to the dreams and hopes of our forebears who longed for Jewish sovereignty and a just society.

Through the Eternal My Heart Knows Joy (I Samuel 1:1- 2:10)

And there was a man from Ramatayim­tzofim, from the hills ofEphraim, whose name was Elkanah ("God Creates") son ofYerocham son of Elihu son ofTochu son ofTzuf, an Ephraimite. 2And he had two wives: one named Channah {"Grace") and the other named Peninnah ("Pearl") . Peninnah had children and Channah had no children. 3 And this man would go up from his town every year to worship at Shiloh and make offerings to the Eternal of Heaven's Hosts . And there Eli's two sons, Chofni and Pinchas, were priests of the Eternal. 4 And on the day when Elkanah would make offerings, he would give portions to his wife Peninnah and to each of her sons and daughters. s And to Channah he would give a special portion, because he loved Channah and the Eternal had closed her womb. 6 And her rival-wife would taunt her cruelly to make her tremble with grief, for the Eternal had closed her womb. 1 And so t was year after year: when she would

go up to the House of the Eternal, she ..aunted her; and she would cry and not eat. s And Elkanah her husband said to _.er: "Channah, why do you cry and why do you not eat, and why are you dis-

eartened? Am I not worth more to you ::han ten sons?" 9 And Channah arose fter the eating and drinking at Shiloh, fole Eli the priest sat upon the throne, ear the doorpost of the temple of the ternal. 10 And she, bitter to the core, rayed to the Eternal- weeping and cry-

ng. 11 And she vowed and said: "Eternal

21 And the man Elkanah, and his whole household, went up to make the annual offerings to the Eternal and to fulfill his vow. 22 But Channah did not go up, for she said to her husband: "Until the boy is weaned- then I will bring him; once he appears before the Eternal, he will stay there forever." 23 Elkanah her hus­band said to her: "Do what you think is best. Wait until you have weaned him. Surely the Eternal will fulfill what your mouth has uttered." So the woman stayed and nursed her son until she weaned him.

24 When she had weaned him, she took him up with her- with a three­year-old bull, one eifah of fl.our, and a skin of wine- and brought him to the House of the Eternal, to Shiloh. And the boy was young. 25 They slaughtered the bull and brought the boy to Eli. 26 And she said: "Please, my lord. As you live, my lord- I am the woman who stood here with you, praying to the Eternal. 21 It was for this boy that I prayed, and the Eternal granted my request. 28 I, in turn, grant what the Eternal asks of him: as long as he lives he is dedicated to the Eternal." And there they worshiped the Eternal.

2,1 And Channah prayed, saying: "Through the Eternal, my heart knows

joy; through the Eternal, my horn is raised; my mouth opens wide against my foes­for I exult in Your deliverance. 2 There is nothing holy like the Eternal, for there is nothing beside You,

and there is no Rock like our God. 3 Speak no more in lofty tones; let arrogance leave your mouths.

All-Knowing is the Eternal God

whose .deeds cannot be measured. 4 The bows of the mighty are broken,

while those who falter find strength; s those who were full sell themselves for

bread, and the hungry hunger no more. The one who was barren bears seven,

and the mother of many is bereaved.

6 The Eternal is the maker of death and life, takes down to Sheol and brings back up. 1 The Eternal makes poverty and wealth,

casts low and raises aloft, a lifts the poor from the dust, causes the needy to rise from dung-heaps

and dwell among princes, then places them on thrones of honor.

For the pillars of the earth belong to the

Eternal, who founded the world upon them; 9 who watches over the steps of the faithful while turning evil-doers silent in the

darkness-for not by power shall a human being prevail!

10The Eternal shatters foes,

thunders against them in the heavens; the Eternal judges the earth from end to end. So may God give strength to the sovereign, and raise high the horn of God's anointed."

Zichronot: Discerning the Compassionate Presence

A messenger from another time, a stranger here in our midst ­the shofar sounds remembrance.

Remember: wherever you go, I am with you.

After the flood, in the wake of destruction, Noah discovered the rainbow.

Alone on a mountain, a knife in his hand, Abraham heard the voice of compassion.

At the end of her strength, afraid for her child, Hagar found a well in the wilderness.

Remember: wherever you go, I am with you.

In sounding the horn, we summon them back -zichronot: memories of those who saw signs of Your Presence.

A rock gives forth water, hope can blossom in the desert . ...

and when loving hands lighten our darkness, You are there.

When we are caught in the thicket, feel alone or forgotten -the shofar sounds remembrance.

From the deep well of the past, in the depths of our own despair -the shofar sounds remembrance.

Remember: My Presence goes with you and will lighten your burden.

REMEMBER, I AM WITH YOU. Based on Genesis 28:15. MY PRESENCE GOES ... LIGHTEN YOUR BURDEN, Exodus 33:14.

;n,n;i 11N'1i' : 11•1n1JJ : i1JIJJi1 1JJN1 I 268

CRY ALOUD, Isaiah 58:1.

The prophet said: "Cry aloud; Lift up your voice like a shofar!"

This is the meaning of the verse: See yourself as a shofar, an instrument of the Divine. Do not take pride in your virtue or the power of your deeds. With every mitzvah you do -every act of intellect, goodness, and love -God's spirit breathes through you.

THIS IS THE MEANING. Based on the teaching of Rabbi Dov Baer ofMezeritch (d. 1772), a disciple of Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov, the founder of Chasidism.

SAAD IA GAON, a 10th-century spiritual leader of Babylonian Jewry, suggested ten reasons for blowing the shofar on Rosh HaShanah: (1) to celebrate divine sovereignty, as the ram's horn announced the coronation of kings in biblical times; (2) to stir our conscience as the Ten Days of Return begin; (3) to remind us of the Revelation at Sinai (Exodus 19- 20), when Torah was given; (4) to recall the rebukes and exhortations oflsrael's prophets; (s) to recall the destruc­tion of the Jerusalem Temple and call us to strive for national renewal; (6) to remind us of the ram on Mount Moriah (Genesis 22:13); (7) to summon our humility before God; (8) to evoke thoughts of the final Day of Judgment; (9) to foreshadow the ingathering of the exiles in messianic times and to sustain our faith in Israel's deliverance; and (10) to foreshadow the inauguration of God's reign throughout the world at the End of Days.

Prayer for Our Congregation

Eternal Presence, who blessed our mothers and fathers, bless this holy congregation - a house of study, prayer, and righteous deeds.

Together we give thanks . . .

For our leaders: those who learn, teach, and uphold the Torah, inspiring others to learn, teach, and uphold the Torah; those who do the sacred work of building our community. May their service bring them joy, fulfillment, and purpose; and may they go from strength to strength.

For our members: diverse in age, interest, and background; Jews by birth, Jews by choice, and those of other faiths who join with us; all who offer their time and talent, their love and commitment.

For all who come here, on this holy day of Rosh HaShanah, to share the search for meaning and renewal: Your presence is a blessing, your friendship a gift.

May the spirit of peace, dignity, and respect live within these walls, inspiring us to care for one another with compassion; and may we be a source of goodness, light, and healing for the world.

May the One who blessed the generations before us bless us as we stand together this day: one congregation joined with all Jewish communities of the world through our prayers on this festival of the New Year.

Let us renew ourselves for the year ahead. Let us honor the precious legacy that is ours.

Prayer for Our Country (United States)

God of holiness, we hear Your message: Justice,justice you shall

pursue. God of freedom, we hear Your charge: Proclaim liberty throughout the land. Inspire us through Your teachings and com­mandments to love and uphold our precious democracy. Let every citizen take responsibility for the rights and freedoms we cherish. Let each of us be an advocate for justice, an activist for liberty, a defender of dignity. And let us champion the values that make our nation a haven for the persecuted, a beacon of hope among the nations.

May our actions reflect compassion for all people, within our borders and abroad. May our leaders and officials embody the vision of our founders: to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.

We pray for courage and conscience as we aim to support our country's highest values and aspirations: the hard-won rights that define us as a people, the responsibilities that they entail.

We pray for all who serve our country with selfless devotion -in peace and in war, from fields of battle to clinics and classrooms, from government to the grassroots: all those whose noble deeds and sacrifice benefit our nation and our world.

We are grateful for the rights of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness that our founders ascribed to You, our Creator. We pray for their wisdom and moral strength, that we may be guardians of these rights for ourselves and for the sake of all people, now and forever.

JUSTICE, JUSTICE, Deuteronomy 16:20.

PROCLAIM LIBERTY, Leviticus 25:10.

PRAYER FOR ISRAEL. Composed in honor of the birth of the State of Israel in 1948. This prayer is notable for its theological statement that the birth of the state was not just a political event in secular time, but "the first flowering of our redemption," a spiritual event in religious time. The return of Jews to the land of their ancestors in fulfillment of the vision of the prophets, their recovery of independence as a sovereign nation after two thousand years of dispersion and powerlessness, and their reaffirmation oflife after the Holocaust: these form a new and epoch-making chapter in the narrative begun when Abraham and Sarah heeded God's call and set out on the journey "to the land that I will show you" (Genesis 12:1). (Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, b. 1948)

T'KIAH G'DOLAH i1?11:) il~'i?T;l-The final t'kiah note is prolonged, and it is therefore known as t'kiahg'dolah (the great t'kiah) . For the Revelation at Mount Sinai, one long, drawn-out note of the horn was the signal that the Shechinah (Divine Presence) had departed: "When the ram's horn sounds a long blast, they may [then] go up on the mountain" (Exodus 19:13). On Rosh HaShanah, the drawn-out t'kiah recalls the moment when Torah was given. It sounds a triumphant conclusion to the last of the three central themes of the day.

Let the wishes of our lips - our heart's desire - be pleasing before You, God Most High. You are knowing and attentive, watchful and aware when we call out: T'kiah! Lovingly, favorably receive our prayers of Shofarot!

LET THE WISHES OF OUR L~PS 1J'J;:t~W n11r:i~. This brief poem, recited after each of the three soundings of the shofar, first appears in the 9th-century prayerbook of Rav Amram Gaon. It expresses the hope that the shofar blasts, the offering of our lips and our hearts, will be pleasing to God - perhaps especially because our verbal offerings are inherently in­adequate. Rabbi Arthur Green (b. 1941) writes: "The shofar sound represents prayer beyond words, an intensity oflonging that can be articulated only in a wordless shout."

As the prophet announced: "The Eternal shall be sovereign over all the earth . On that day the Eternal shall be one, and God's name shall be one."

A WORLD GROWING MORE PERFECT 071:ii 1i?JJ'?. Implying the broken state of the world, the Hebrew phrase l'takein olam b'malchut Shaddai can also be translated: "to repair the world through the sovereignty of God." Rabbinic law of the 2nd and 3rd centuries understood the concept of tikkun olam as a framework for the provision of remedies for social ills. In the Aleinu, composed about the same time, the phrase refers to acts by God that help transform this imperfect world into one characterized by the moral perfection of divine rule. Mystics of the 16th century applied the term tikkun olam to human action, shifting the responsibility for perfecting the world . from God to human beings. In 21st-century North America, tikkun olam is virtually synonymous with Jewish social action and the project of social justice. By linking tikkun olam (repair of the world) to malchut Shaddai (the sovereignty of God), the Aleinu reminds us that social action is most authentic when it emerges from reflection on the question : What does God require of us?
