L'maancho
L'maancho
L'maancho Elokaino is a magnificent prayer that we say in the lead up to the High Holidays and then again in the evening of Yom Kippur.
"For Your own sake act, our G-d, and not for ours.
Behold our position, impoverished and empty.
The soul is Yours, and the body is Your work:
O have compassion on thy labour."
Wishing us all a year of blessings. A year of health, fulfilment and of kindness.
Shana tova.

Lyrics
לְמַעַנְךָ אֶלקֵינוּ עֲשֵׂה וְלא לָנוּ,
רְאֵה עֲמִידָתֵנוּ, דַּלִּים וְרֵקִים.
הַנְּשָׁמָה לָךְ וְהַגּוּף פָּעֳלָךְ,
חוּסָה עַל עֲמָלָךְ הַנְּשָׁמָה לָךְ.
L'maancha Elokeinu 'aseh velo lanu
re'eh amidasenu dalim vereikim
Ha neshamah lach vehaguf po'olach
chusah 'al amalach Ha neshamah lach
For Your own sake act, our G-d, and not for ours.
Behold our position, impoverished and empty.
The soul is Yours, and the body is Your work:
O have compassion on thy labour.
