Whichever creed/non-creed one might follow, this beautiful song - the ancientLords Prayer in the Jewish tradition (Avinu = Our Father, Malkeinu = Our Lord or King) -soothes our heart & fears so appropriately as we all head to war (US, France, Jordan, ...) on the very first day of Jewish Holy Days. It is sung daily during the 10 days of Repentance (1 for each of the 10 Commandments?) between the New Year, Rosh Hashanah and the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). The lines: Bring an end to war and famine, Bring an end to all trouble and oppression around us a special resonance for the world in this year when Isis has uprooted so hundreds of thousands Iraqi Yazhidis, Christians, Shias, Muslims, and I am sure atheists and other creeds we do not know about. I always find rest for soul and spirit in the beauty of this psalmody. Shanah Tova! AVINU MALKEINU - OUR FATHER, OUR KING Avinu malkeinu shma kolenu / Our father our king, hear our voice Avinu malkeinu chatanu lfaneycha / Our father our king, we have sinned before you Avinu malkeinu chamol aleynu / Our father our king, Have compassion upon us Veal olaleynu vetapeinu / and upon our children Avinu malkeinu / Our father our king Kaleh dever / Bring an end to pestilence, vecherev veraav mealeynu / war, and famine around us Avinu malkeinu / Our father our king, kaleh chol tsar / Bring an end to all trouble Umastin mealeynu / and oppression around us Avinu malkeinu / Our father our king Avinu malkeinu / Our father our king Katveinu besefer chayim tovim / Inscribe us in the book of (good) life Avinu malkeinu chadesh aleynu / Our father our king, renew upon us Chadesh aleynu shanah tovah / Renew upon us a good year Shma kolenu / Hear our voice Shma kolenu / Hear our voice Shma kolenu / Hear our voice Avinu malkeinu / Our father our king Avinu malkeinu / Our father our king Chadesh aleynu shanah tovah / Renew upon us a good year Avinu malkeinu / Our father our king Shma kolenu / Hear our voice (x4)https://youtube/watch?v=0YONAP39jVE
