Clear Away the Cobwebs of Convention
Holiness and Faith Are the Rewards
How Might I, in Faith, Do as You Ask
Ismail and Yitzhak Are Half-Brothers
O Lord, Our Hope and Our Redeemer
Reason Ought Not Be the Enemy
Reason Says, of Course, that There's No Book
Remember as You Scour Your Soul for Sin
Remember the Utility of Shame
Repentence Is Quite Different from Regret
Return Each Year to Test the Ancient Waters
Revelation Leads to Revolution
Revelation Strikes You as Absurd
Revenge Is Often Taken in the Mind
Righteousness Ought Not Be for One's Self
Ritual Recalls the Revelation
Rosh Hashanah Opens to the Page
Rosh Hashanah Opens Up the Book
Ye of Little Faith, You're Welcome Here
Year After Year, You Promise to Atone
Yearning Is a Function of Atonement
Years Pass, the Sins Remain
Yom Kippur Remains a Day of Morning
You Are Not, Will Not, Do Not What You Dream
You Cannot Be the Person You Might Wish
You Cannot Get Away from Being Plural
You Cannot Think the Book of Life Will Close
You Find but Little Solace in Success
You Pray Not for Yourself Alone but All
You Pray to Be Included in the Book
You Wish to Live a Long and Healthy Life
You Wonder Whether Fate Is Accidental
You Wrap Your Mind Around the Consequence
You'd Like a Shot at Serious Redemption
