Aleinu for Yom Kippur





Bend the knee and leave the old damage behind. 

It is resolved

Or it is not.

It is forgiven

Or it is not. 

In any case

Those gates are shut. 


Walk into this next year

And acknowledge the new suffering.

The Earth begs for a rest

And it is up to us to help,

This is our covenant. 

And it’s not enough to live small,

This year we must act big. 


Aleinu.
