Dear Holy Spirit of All Ancestors,
Let us be renewed by this month of Adar
Just as it is Pisces, the sign of the fish, may we be full of blessing and fruitfulness.
May this moon’s journey direct us in our capacity to change and grow
Its metamorphosis as the universe’s archetype of transformation
The steadiness of her climb from new to full, not clambering to reach her pinnacle, Instead daily, bit by bit, bringing another portion of herself to light.
May this moon’s journey direct us in our capacity to change and grow
Toward goodness and blessing
Toward the joyful
Toward liberation and challenge, as well as
Toward patience and consolation
Toward becoming ever more human beings.
Let us commit to supporting ourselves and each other.
May this moon’s journey direct us in our capacity to change and grow
Toward life and peace
Toward observing our blindness
Toward struggling with our goals
Toward forgiving ourselves and each other.
May this moon’s journey direct us in our capacity to change and grow
As an opportunity
To understand what is intended for us.
Many thank for inviting us to share
This holy moment of the New Moon.
N’vareykh et eyn hachayim Matzmichat p’ri hagefen Unkadeysh
et rosh hachodesh Ba’arigat p’tiley chayeynu L’tokh masechet hadorot.
Let us bless the source of life that ripens fruit on the vine as we hallow
the Rosh Hodesh festival, weaving new threads into the tapestry of tradition.
