really encapsulated my feeling this was going around on what's EP okay so I want to read this to you I don't even know who wrote it I tried to figure out who wrote it and it's a translation but this is the eve of Yom Kipper 5784 in the Heavenly courts the trial is about to begin there is a a tense silence in the heavens and on Earth the prosecutor is given the floor first he steps up to the podium Podium and piles the sins of the people of isra onto the scales one sin after another he heaps small and large transgressions onto the balance when he finishes he steps aside the scale tips to the left and a feeling of discomfort is palpable all around but then permission is given again this time to the Seven Shepherds who stand in a radiant silent row these are those who visit us in our Suka we're about to see them right now first Our Father Abraham steps forward holding all the acts of kindness of the people of Israel from this past year from healthcare workers and security Personnel to psychologists and social workers from teachers and youth leaders from the youth who helped dismantle the suas to the women who cooked for soldiers for from the drivers who transported reservists and the many volunteers and there is much much more as we all know and after him comes his son Isaac the pure offering he places on the scales of the self-sacrifice the Readiness to be bound the running into fire under the whistling of bullets the urgency to save others at the expense of the savior of he who's doing the saving he places the heroic and Proud Souls who merits whose Merit stands forever then comes our forefather Jacob who fought the angel he places on the scales the merits of the Wounded laying down crutches Prosthetics tears of burning pain and lifelong disabilities he places those who stand tall despite being bent by their burdens and after him Joseph steps forward placing the Cries From The Pit the voices of men women and children whose cries Echo throughout the world imprisoned in dark and hidden in damp Apartments imprisoned in dark tunnels and hidden in damp Apartments so close yet so far hungry exhausted and praying for salvation Moses Our Shepherd approaches he places Torah study from all hours of the day meets votes and countless merits on the scales though it's already clear that there's no need he places prayers and tears kala offerings Psalms talmud study and charity coins in Sedaka Aaron the priest steps forward next he places the scales he places on the scales the love of Israel one great and holy congregation United and reconciled their hearts beating in unison he places the shoulder-to-shoulder Battle of the people of Israel together as one man with one heart from all communities and sectors he places them like stones of the breastplate packed tightly together and the scales are about to break tense silence fills the hall then the last Shepherd steps forward David king of Israel he approaches holding the spirit of royalty representing the noble generation that rises like a lion they leap with all their might to rise and defend their brothers to save them from the hands of the enemy crying out the Cry of all generations is a generation that reminds us of what was almost forgotten how beautiful this people is how strong they are crowning Israel with Glory with the crown of kingship a generation that yearns for the kingship of David for the rebuilding of the temple that fights and wins in the name of God they all stand once again in a row their eyes blazing with fire their entire being a inspiring the judgment is clear no more words are needed then footsteps are heard from outside a sound growing louder the doors swing wide open and the four mothers of the nation enter Sarah Rebecca Rachel and Leia advaned as one towards the scales placing on them the pure prayers of women the ceaseless worry for the soldiers they play Psalms recited be beside the hospital beds they Place women with shoulders broadened by heavy burdens from days and nights of functioning alone bearing great responsibility they place the pain of widows the warm tears of longing and loneliness they stand next to the fathers Noble and radiant the hall is silent for it is awe inspiring and the Heavenly voice declares fortunate is the people for whom this is so fortunate is the people whom this is so fortunate is the people whose God is the Lord and forgiveness will be granted to the entire Congregation of the children of Israel the Miracles of our generation
