Throughout this past year, we have witnessed so much tragedy, pain, and heartbreak. We have seen suffering that has touched our people and our world in ways that are difficult to put into words. As we stand at the beginning of a new year, we look back on everything that has happened and turn our hearts toward Hashem. We know that we are not worthy of His mercy. We know how much we have fallen short. And yet, like children turning to their Father, we come before Him and ask Him not to judge us according to what we deserve, but to have mercy upon us.
