Congregation B'nai Tikvah

A Meditation as the hametz is being burned:

 

Our G-d and G-d of those who came before us:

May it be Your will that just as we remove all the chametz
from our house, and from all that we control,

so may You remove all the impure forces
from the world that You control.

And may You remove our evil inclinations from within us,
and give us a tender, caring, and sensitive heart.

May all the negative forces and evil disappear like this smoke.
May all tyrannical governments be removed from the earth.

May all who cause anguish to the Divine Presence be swept away by a furious wind of justice,
in the same way the Egyptians and their idols were swept away
in those days, at this time.

(after Noam Zion and David Dishon, A Different Night)
