The New Year has just begun and we are here to greet it.
Thank You, O God, for keeping us alive and enabling us to reach this day.
Thank You for loved ones and friends who mean so much to us.
Thank You for the teachings and traditions of Judaism which help us to live
kindly and proudly as Jews.
Thank You for this congregation where we join with other Jews on Rosh
Hashanah.
May the prayers that we offer and the thoughts that we think here today help
us to feel closer to You and to our people all over the world.
May they help us also to use every day wisely in the year ahead.
Amen.

Eternal Our God, make the words of your Torah sweet to us and to the House of
Israel, Your people, that we and our children may be lovers of Your name and
students of Your Torah.
We praise you, God, Teacher of Torah to Your People Israel.
A midrash tells a story about Adam and Eve. They once said to God:
When You created light and darkness, You said that they were good.
When you created the seas and the dry land, You said that they were
good. When you created the plants and the animals, You said that they
were good.
But when You created us in Your image, You did not say that we were
good. Why, God?
God replied: You are different from everything else in the universe.
When I created man and woman I left you incomplete.
God has given us the gift of free will, so that we can complete
ourselves. As we work together to finish the work of creation, we and
God will get to know each other. And that is very good indeed.

I play sweet psalms and weave my songs because for You my spirit longs.
In Your handโs shade my senses yearn Your secret mysteries to learn.
Your glory, even as I speak stirs my heart Your love to seek.
And so I tell Your glorious fame, with songs of love I praise Your name.
I tell Your glory, never shown, describing You though still unknown.
Yet through Your prophets that You taught a glimpse of majesty is brought.
Your greatness and Your force they told and showed the power that You hold.
Each age You call, Your word is true. Seek us, the people seeking You!
Yet who can tell Godโs mighty ways and who can make known all Godโs praise.

This section of the service, the Verses of Song, includes
selections from the Book of Psalms. Found in the Writings section
of the Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible), the Book of Psalms is a
collection of 150 poems that were written over a thousand years
ago. They were for religious services in the Temple, and many of
them were composed by King David and his son King Solomon. Itโs
amazing to think that when we recite these words, we are
following along in a tradition that is thousands of years old!

A Psalm to Sing for the Sabbath Day.
It is good to give thanks to the Eternal, to praise Your name, God beyond all,
To tell of Your love in the morning and Your faithfulness every night.
With the lute, with the lyre, with the gentle sound of the harp.
You made me happy in Your deeds, O God, at the works of Your hand I sing out.
God, how great are Your works, Your thoughts are so very deep.
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree, grow tall like a cedar in Lebanon.
Planted in the house of God, they shall flourish in the courts of God,
Bearing new fruit in old age still full of sap and still green,
To declare that God is faithful, my Rock in whom there is no wrong.

Eternal God, as the new year begins,
We have come together to pray as a congregation,
Yet each of us stands alone in Your presence.
Each of us comes before You with special hopes and dreams;
Each of us has personal fears and concerns.
Each of us has a prayer no one else can utter;
Each of us brings praise no one else can offer.
Each of us feels a joy no one else can share;
Each of us has regrets which others cannot know.
And so, we pray:
If we are weary, give us strength.
If we are discouraged, give us hope.
If we have forgotten how to pray, teach us anew;
If we have been careless of time, forgive us.
If our hearts have been chilled by indifference,
Warm them with Your mercy and inspire us.
Amen.

This will happen if you listen carefully to My commands which I give you today,
to love and to serve the Eternal your God with all your heart and all your soul. I

Take care that your heart is not deceived into straying, obeying other gods and
worshipping them. Godโs anger will then blaze out against you. God will shut up
the sky. There will be no rain. The land will not produce, and you will quickly be
destroyed from the good land which God gives you. So put these words of Mine
in your heart and in your soul, and secure them as a sign upon your hand and as
reminders before your eyes. Teach them to your children, and talk about them
โwhen you sit each of you in your home, and when you walk in the street, when
you lie down and when you rise up. Write them on the doorposts of your home
and at your gates.โ Then you and your children may live long on the land that God
promised to give your ancestors as long as there is a sky over the earth.

You always helped our ancestors. In every generation You were the shield and
savior for them and their children. Happy are those who hear Your commands,
and set Your teaching upon their hearts. It is true that You are the first and
the last, and besides You we have no Ruler who rescues and saves us. You
delivered us from Egypt. Moses and Miriam and all the children of Israel sang:

God has many names. Sometimes, God is Adonai. This means โmy Lordโ and reminds
us that God is a mighty ruler. Sometimes, God is Shechinah. This means โdwellingโ
and reminds us that God can be found all around us. Sometimes, God is Emet. This
means โtruthโ and reminds us that we can always count on Godโs support and love.
A long time ago there were no such people as the Jews. Then God taught Abraham
and Sarah who taught their son Isaac. Isaac married Rebecca who taught her son
Jacob. Jacob and his wives Rachel and Leah taught their twelve children and they
became the Children of Israel. When famine arose in the Land of Israel, God
allowed for Jacobโs son Joseph to go to Egypt. With Godโs help, Joseph helped his
family escape hunger. Years later, a Pharaoh of Egypt made the Children of Israel
slaves. God rescued our ancestors from slavery and we raced across the Sea of
Reeds. Feeling great joy and amazed at the miracle, Moses and Miriam and all the
children of Israel sang out this song to God:

On the shore of the sea, those who were rescued sang a new song in Your praise.
Together all of them thanked You and proclaimed You as Sovereign:

1 God remembered Sarah and did as
had been promised.
2She became pregnant and had a son
for Abraham in his old age, at the
exact time God had told him.
3Abraham named his newborn son that
Sarah had given birth to Isaac.
4When his son Isaac was eight days
old, Abraham circumcised him, as God
commanded him.
5Abraham was 100 years old when his
son Isaac was born.
6Sarah said, โGod has brought me
laughter; all who hear will laugh with
me.โ
7She added, โWho would have dared to
say to Abraham, โSarah will have
children? Yet I have had a son in old
age!โ
8The child grew and was weaned, and
on Isaacโs weaning day, Abraham held a
great feast.
9Now Sarah saw the son that Hagar
the Egyptian had had for Abraham,
playing.
10She said to Abraham, โThrow this
slave girl and her son out. The son of
this slave girl is not going to share in
the inheritance with my son Isaac!โ
11This saddened Abraham greatly,
because of his son.

12But God said to Abraham, โDo not be
sad over the boy or your slave.
13I will also make a nation out of the
children of the slaveโs son, for he, too, is
your offspring.โ
14Early next morning, Abraham got up
and took bread and a waterskin and
handed them to Hagar, placing them and
the boy on her shoulder. Then he cast
her out; trudging away, she wandered
aimlessly in the wilderness of
Beersheba.
15When the water in the skin was all
gone, she set the child away under a
bush,
16walked away and sat the distance of
about a bowshot, thinking: โLet me not
see the child die.โ There, on the other
side, she sat and wept in a loud voice.
17God heard the boyโs cry, and from
heaven an angel of God called to Hagar
and said, โWhat is troubling you, Hagar?
Have no fear; God has heard the cry of
the boy where he is.
18Get up, lift the boy, and hold his hand,
for I am going to make of him a great
nation.โ
19God then opened her eyes, and she saw
a well. She went and filled the skin with
water and gave the boy a drink.
20God was with the boy, and he grew up;
he lived in the wilderness and became a
bowman.
21He lived in the wilderness of Paran, and
his mother took him a wife from the land
of Egypt.

1After these things, God tested
Abraham. God called: โAbraham!โ And
Abraham said, โHere I am.โ
2God said, โTake your son, your only one,
the one you love, Isaac, and go forth to
the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a
sacrifice, on one of the mountains that I
will show you.
3Abraham rose early, saddled his
donkey, chopped wood for the burnt-
offering, took Isaac his son and his two
servants, and set out for the place that
God had described.
4 On the third day, Abraham raised his
eyes and saw the place from afar.
5Abraham said to his young servants,
โStay here with the donkey; the boy and
I will go ahead. We will worship and
return to you.โ
6Abraham then took the wood for the
burnt-offering and laid it on Isaac his
son; in his own hand he held the flint and
the knife. And the two of went on
together.

7Isaac then said to Abraham his father,
โFather!โ Abraham answered: โHere I am,
my son.โ Isaac asked: โHere is the flint
and the wood, but where is the lamb for
the sacrifice?โ
8Abraham replied, โGod will see to the
lamb for sacrifice, my son.โ And the two
of them went on together.
9They came to the place that God had
described. There Abraham built the
altar and arranged the wood and bound
Isaac his son and laid him on the altar,
upon the wood.
10Abraham now reached out and took
the knife to slay his son
11but out of heaven an angel of God
called to him, saying, โAbraham!
Abraham!โ He replied: โHere I am.โ
12[The angel] then said, โDo not lay your
hand on the lad; do nothing to him; for
now I know that you are one who fears
God, as you did not withhold your son,
your only one, from Me.โ
13Abraham lifted his eyes: he now could
see a ram [just] after it was caught by
its horns in a thicket. Abraham went
and took the ram and offered it as a
burnt offering in place of his son.

โ14Abraham named that place Adonai
Yirโeh; to this day people say: โOn the
mount of the Eternal, [God] will be
seen.โ
15Then out of heaven an angel of the
Eternal called to Abraham a second
time,
16 saying: โBy Myself I swear, says the
Eternal One, that because you did this
thing, and did not withhold your son,
your only one,
17I will bless you greatly, and make your
descendants as numerous as the stars
of heaven and the sands of the
seashore, and your descendants shall
take possession of the gates of their
foes.
18And through your descendants the
nations of the earth shall be blessed,
because you hearkened to My voice.โ
19Abraham then returned to his servant
lads; they got up and travelled together
to Beersheba, and Abraham settled in
Beersheba.

Rosh Hashanah

In the Torah we read that God tested Abraham to see whether he would obey
and follow Godโs command to offer his only son Isaac as a sacrifice. Abraham
proved himself loyal and was prepared to carry out Godโs word. At the last
moment, however, Abraham was commanded not to slay Isaac. Instead he
offered a ram which was caught in the bushes by its horn. The ramโs horn is the
Shofar which we sound today.
The shofar reminds us of Abrahamโs great loyalty to God and it asks us also to
be loyal.
Often we forget our duties and our responsibilities. We become selfish, lazy or
mean. The Shofarโs calls are like an alarm. They are meant to โwake us up,โ to
sound an alert, to let us know how dangerous it is to neglect Godโs teachings.
As we listen to the sounds of the Shofar, let us each promise that in the coming
year we will live kinder, more thoughtful and better lives.
Isaac Arama was a Spanish Rabbi who lived in the 15th Century. When he
listened to the blasts of the shofar he heard something different in each of
the three sounds.
When he heard the one long loud blast of the Tekiah, it sounded like a person
shouting and cheering. It said to him, โYou are lucky. You live in the wonderful
world which God created.โ
When he heard the nine quick blasts of the Teruah, it sounded like a person
crying. It felt sad and a little scary. It said to him, โYou are not as good a person
as you could be. The past year you have done many wrong things.โ
When he heard the three short blasts of the Shevarim, it sounded like a person
groaning. It hurt a little bit. It said to him, โYou have much work to do in order
to become the best person you could be. You must start today.โ

The last of the shofar blasts heard on Rosh Hashanah is a Tekiah Gedolah. This
is a โsuperโ Tekiah where the person blowing the shofar makes the longest and
loudest sound possible. It sounds like a big long loud cheer.
When Isaac Arama heard the Tekiah Gedolah it seemed to say to him, โI am
proud of you. Youโve worked hard this Rosh Hashanah. You are a good person.
Next year youโll be even better.โ
The Shofar Blast song
I like to hear the shofar blast
Sometimes slow and sometimes fast
I like to hear the shofar blast
Happy happy happy new year.

Throughout the year, we think of God in many different ways. At Passover, we
think of God as a rescuer who saved us from slavery in Egypt. At Shavuot, we
think of God as the great teacher who gave us the Torah on which we base our
lives. Soon it will be Sukkot, and we will thank God for being our protector โ
helping us survive in the wilderness on our way to the Promised Land and as our
provider โ helping us to bring crops to harvest.
Today we think of God as a great ruler; wise and compassionate.
Tradition teaches that on this day God created the world. The heavens and the
earth, the seas and the dry land, plants and trees, fish and birds, animals and
humanity โ all were created by God, the ruler of the Universe.
We say โGod reigns, God has reigned, God will reign forever.โ

Zichronot
The rabbis call today Yom Ha-Din, the Day of Judgment. Over the past year we
have all made mistakes. We have not been perfect. Today, however, we ask God
to remember all the good that we have done over the past year; all our good
deeds and our good words. May those good actions work in our favour.
Our ancestors were people like us โ they too were not perfect. Just as their
good deeds are remembered by us, so let our good deeds be remembered by
God.

When the Israelites were in the wilderness, the presence of God was heard,
seen and felt. The Children of Israel were at the foot of Mount Sinai and there
was thunder and lightning and strong blasts of the shofar while a thick cloud
covered the mountain.
When Abraham went to sacrifice Isaac, an angel stopped him. A ram took
Isaacโs place as an offering, and the horn is sounded to remind us of that story.

There are stars up above, so far away we only see their light long, long after the
star itself is gone. And so it is with people that we loved โ their memories keep
shining ever brightly though their time with us is done. But the stars that light
up the darkest night, these are the lights that guide us. As we live our days,
these are the ways we remember.

Eternal God who ruled alone
Before creation of all forms,
At whose desire all began
And as the Sovereign was proclaimed.
Who, after everything shall end
Alone, in awe will ever reign,
Who was and is for evermore,
The glory that will never change.
Unique and One, no other is
To be compared, to stand beside,
Neither before, nor following,
Alone the source
Of power and might.
This is my God, who saves my life,
The rock I grasp in deep despair,
The flag I wave, the place I hide,
Who shares my cup the day I call.
In my Makerโs hand I lay my soul
Both when I sleep and when I wake
And with my soul my body too,
My God is close, I shall not fear.
