and we ''empty out''... and we reflect.... We are sorry for our indiscretions.... We are mindful of our mistakes... And.... We take stock, so to speak.... inventory... "checks and balances"... We weigh our own measuring scale of "acts and behaviors"... Or rather... GOD does.... And we beg for FORGIVENESS... And we PROMISE to be ''better''... But what of our GOOD DEEDS ? Do we MENTION those as well ? Is it ALL based on our NEGATIVE ACTS ? Can we be HUMBLE while still being AWARE of our own, innate GOODNESS ? of our KINDNESSES ? Food for thought on this NON FOOD occasion... Wish you ALL a SAFE and MEANINGFUL YOM KIPPUR....
