Personal Prayer – Evelyn Frankford – Rosh Hashanah September 2015 Yehe Ratzon Mel Fanecha – Source of All Living Things, May it be your will that I jettison the vigilance, and the fear from which it arises, wh ich no longer serve me, in fact harm me, and hat I find the strength to experience and embrace the relative safety of my little corner of the Boston - New York world , with my family and friends , professional colleagues and social networks, especially in the se 15 years , spiritually anchor ed in TBZ … C oming as I did from assimilated Viennese and Czech Jews whose lives were upended by the Holocaust , which in turn left its indelible mark on me , TBZ opened door for me to delve into affirmative Jewish traditions , to explore t he complexity and depth of J ewi sh thought about how to live , both individually and in community . TBZ’s sanctuary has o me my

own sanctuary. My social justice passions are continually affirmed with the Jewish concept of “ never giv e up ” tak ing on deeper meaning. T hough I falter , I so keep returning to these grounding values and passions and am grateful to have them there as signposts to remind me … Source of All Living Things, as I go forward into the New Year, into new experiences, m ay it be your will that I more fully absorb the w live in un resolved territory with greater equanimity , trusting in my own resilience, vitality, and tenacity, and my capacity for han dling the upheavals that come my way, as things always do and will . May it be your will that I move up , j ust a notch or two, in acquiring the trust to dispel the fear , just enough so that I am able to liv e my experience s more fully, find repose and pleasure , have fun, and inhale the meaning of hayom .
