Ya'aleh Koleinu / "Let Our Voices Rise" (Piyut for Yom Kippur)
Labels: Music
A tallit-and-tefillin-wearing woman in a traditional Conservative synagogue?! An unorthodox—and non-orthodox—perspective on Jews and Judaism from a perpetual misfit. This blog, welcoming the entire Jewish community, is dedicated to those who take Judaism seriously, but not necessarily literally.
Once upon a time, I belonged to a left-wing egalitarian Conservative synagogue, where I was one of a number of women who wore a tallit—and one of the few members who used an Orthodox prayer book (adding the Mothers, of course). Having moved since then, I now belong to a right-wing traditional Conservative synagogue, where I’m almost always the only woman wearing a tallit—and one of the few members who adds the Mothers. I seem destined to be forever . . . on the fringe.

The piyyut (liturgical poem, hymn) "Yaaleh" appears in the Maariv/Arvit (Evening) Service of Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) about a page or two after the Al Chet/For the Sin ("long" confessional) section of the Amidah (Prayer Recited While Standing).
See also my Sunday, October 6, 2019 posts. One announces a Sing-Along in a Sukkah led by Deborah Sacks Mintz, the lead singer in this video. Another is a slight-belated comment on the reading for the second day of Rosh HaShanah (Jewish New Year).
G'mar Chatimah Tovah--May you be sealed in the Book of Life for a good year. For those healthy enough to fast, I hope your fast is an easy and meaningful one.
