This post<\/a> presents the Hebrew, English and transliterated words for a prayer for justice, kindness, and social responsibility written by\u00a0Humanistic Rabbis Sherwin Wine and Binyamin Biber. B<\/em>ased on words attributed to Rabbi Akiva in the Talmud (Taanit 35b) and written to the<\/em>\u00a0traditional melody of “Avinu Malkeinu,” this prayer is penitential in nature, appropriate\u00a0for the High Holiday season.\u00a0<\/em>Typical of the movement, the blessing omits any mention of God, as Humanistic Judaism enables people of any ethnic or religious background to cherish Jewish history, culture, and ethics without worshipping a supernatural being. T<\/em>his text was originally posted by\u00a0Machar: The Washington Congregation for Secular Humanistic Judaism<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>on<\/em>\u00a0Ritualwell<\/a>, a project of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College that provides a platform for creating new Jewish practices and observances.<\/em><\/p>\n
