On September 11, 2001, the lives of United States citizens, and people around the world, changed irrevocably. How do we make sense of such enormous hatred and violence? With poems and prayers we reach out to mourn, console, and question. We commemorate this tragedy and work for tikkun olamLit. Repair of the world According to Jewish mysticism, the world is in a broken state. Humanity’s job is to join God, as God’s partners, in its repair., envisioning a world where such incomprehensible loss never happens again.Â
“Bless the souls of all who have died to save others”
“May their memories be sanctified with joy and love”
“You who would hold the sky captive, / The sea prisoner, / The land in chains…”
A poem in memory of those who lost their lives on 9/11
This immersion is for prayer leaders who have some experience writing prayers and want to receive feedback and hone their skills as liturgists in a supportive environment.
