Rosh Hashanah

by

Reb Gutman Locks

The “Head of the Year,” remembering the creation of Adam the first man and Eve the first woman. The day of hearing the call of the Shofar … a reminder to wake up our sleepy spiritual lives, the day we pass before the Holy King Who allocates our portions for the coming year…. May we all be judged favorably with mercy and generosity, may our past mistakes be erased, and may we all be inscribed for a wonderful, healthy, happy, sweet, and successful New Year.

May Hashem answer our prayers and usher in the geulah sheleimah very soon!

עננו ה’ עננו עננו אלוקינו עננו עננו אבינו עננו עננו בוראנו עננו עננו גואלנו עננו עננו דורשנו עננו עננו הקאל הנאמן עננו עננו ותיק וחסיד עננו עננו זך וישר עננו עננו חי וקים עננו עננו טוב ומטיב עננו עננו יודע יצר עננו

Answer us, Hashem, answer us. Answer us, our G-d, answer us. Answer us, Our Father, answer us. Answer us, our Redeemer, answer us. Answer us, You who searches us out, answer us. Answer us, the One who is faithful, answer us. Answer us, steadfast and kind one, answer us. Answer us, pure and upright One, answer us. Answer us, living and everlasting One, answer us. Answer us, good and benevolent one, answer us. Answer us, He who knows the yetzer, answer us.
