Here I Stand, All of Me Today,...

Excuse the liberty taken with the verse of Torah.

"Atem Nitzavim Hayom Kulchem Lifnei Hashem Elokeichem"

"You are standing, all of you today, before The One your God"

That is the image that holds fast in my mind's eye, of the awe of this day. That we are all standing one next to the other,with no "better" and no "worse". No "higher", nor "lower". All of us, one, just as valued as the other. Standing before the throne, the ark, the light, the unity, the love.

So I will stand - all of me, all that is me, all that will be me - and make atonement.

G'mar Chatimah Tovah.
