creativity and spirituality. From RitualWell.org.

Malkaynu -- Our Parent, Our Sovereign
By Burt Jacobson
A new version of the traditional prayer, Avinu Malkenu, which uses different

T'filla
By Tamara Cohen
The masculine hierarchical God-language so prevalent in High Holiday liturgy
can be painful and distancing. This article offers suggestions to restore
the empowering potential of the High Holidays for those who have felt
diminished, uninterested, and/or angered by traditional High Holiday prayer.
