It is with great trepidation that I post this awesome prayer, set to music by Herbert Fromm, arranged by Samuel Adler, published by Transcontinental Music Publications,sung by cantorial soloist Rowna Sutin, at Rodef Shalom Congregation in Pittsburgh. The prayer has us asking God to nullify all our vows, promises and oaths that we make to God between this time and one year hence, if we cannot fulfill them after an earnest effort.

  • @OrthodoxDarwinist This prayer asks God's forgiveness for vows that were made to God, that weren't kept. E.g., you have a sick child and you utter, Oh, God - if my child recovers I promise whatever . . . and you don't keep that promise. For broken vows against man, this prayer is not relevant. You are free to think that this religion is morally debased - that is your right in a free world. For many, religion provides a moral compass. Like all things in this world, nothing is perfect.

  • @Alyosha3561 The beauty of all of this is that if you find the text objectionable, don't use it. I, personally, don't see anything wrong with it. The text asks that the individual be absolved of all vows that couldn't be kept between that person and God. It says nothing of the promises we make to our fellow men/women.  For broken promises against another person, you must ask forgiveness personally.

    Do you realize only two ethnic groups have ever called themselves "the chosen people".

    Hint: one was the Nazis.

  • @dane810 Sorry I made a mistake about the age of the Hebrew Bible. The oldest texts are probably Song of Deborah and Song of Miriam from 9th to 12th Century B.C.E. Clues to age: spelling, content, setting, language, archaeological record.

  • @dane810 There is a lot of truth in the Hebrew Bible, but I don't take every word as true. In all some 100-150 authors and editors contributed to the Bible starting maybe as long ago as 4,000 years ago. Since then, humans found out so much more about the earth and the cosmos, biology and the brain.

  • @dane810 It's easy to get sucked in to dialogue with hecklers on YouTube. But it's not a meaningful activity. These people are demagogues. the more we write to them, the more we give them a platform for nonsense. I have bumped into OrthodoxDarwinist on another video(s). If he were a sensible person with a real life, and could get anyone live to listen to him would he be spending time planting incendiary comments on YouTube?

  • @Ecologicalification THE JEWS ARE NOT RACIAL SUPREMACISTS! THEY ARE GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE! THEY ARE NOT PREDJUDICED! THEY LOVE ALL PEOPLE AS MUCH AS US CHRISTIANS DO! SHAME ON YOU! I'M A PRO-SEMITIC GENTILE,AND I WORSHIP Y'SHUA ELOHIM A.K.A. JESUS CHRIST! YOU'D BETTER READ GENESIS 27:29 OR YOU'LL BE IN DEEP TROUBLE WITH THE HOLY TRINITY! WARNING:DO NOT CURSE ISRAEL OR THE JEWS OR YOU'LL GO DOWN THE TUBES! D'Y'DIG?

  • @StJouish You're welcome,and I agree...I'm a Creationist. I believe in the truth concerning Genesis 1:1. And you're right...OrthodoxDarwinist IS a lunatic. And I'm on YOUR side.

  • @Ecologicalification oh darn, a goy read the oral law. i better inform Mossad about this.

    But seriously, where do you get this crap?
