This is a time of reflection and returning. The concept of <em>chet<\/em> (sin) in Jewish tradition is related to an archery term which means to &#8216;miss the mark&#8217;. During <em>Aseret Yemei Teshuvah <\/em>we consider the ways we &#8216;missed the mark&#8217; in the past year; we consider how, despite our best intentions, we sometimes hurt others&#8217; feelings through our words and deeds. During <em>Aseret Yemei Teshuvah<\/em>we seek forgiveness from those whom we&#8217;ve hurt and consider how to &#8216;return&#8217; and take aim again. During the Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services, we chant:<em>\u05d4&#8217;, \u05d4&#8217; \u05d0\u05dc \u05e8\u05d7\u05d5\u05dd \u05d5\u05d7\u05e0\u05d5\u05df \u05d0\u05e8\u05da \u05d0\u05e4\u05d9\u05dd \u05e8\u05d1 \u05d7\u05e1\u05d3 \u05d5\u05d0\u05de\u05ea<\/em><em>. <\/em>The phrase refers to God as \u05d0\u05dc \u05e8\u05d7\u05d5\u05dd &#8211; a God who feels womb-full, like a parent, who is \u05d5\u05d7\u05e0\u05d5\u05df &#8211; generous, \u05d0\u05e8\u05da \u05d0\u05e4\u05d9\u05dd &#8211; patient, \u05e8\u05d1 \u05d7\u05e1\u05d3 &#8211; and full of kindness and truth. When we chant these words we ask that, despite our mistakes, we be treated with love, generosity, patience, and kindness. As we ask this for ourselves, we are reminded to treat others who have made mistakes the same way. During these ten important days may we each experience and offer love, generosity, patience and kindness as together we travel the path of Teshuvah.<\/p>\n<p>Shabbat Shalom Vegemar Chatimah Tovah,<\/p>\n<p>Moreh Greg<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are known as Aseret Yemei Teshuvah (Ten Day of Teshuvah).
