Whether you ran in here today on little feet, or ambled, or strolled, or rolled in, you are welcome here.

Community Prayer
Yom Kippur 5781
Strange yet familiar
We approach this Day of At-One-Ment
Apart yet together
Recalling our missed marks
With hope, yet in awe
We gather in prayer
Zooming across the miles; yet not leaving home
Let our fasts have meaning
Hear our pleas, our viddui, our Kol Nidrei

Amen
