A Repenter’s Prayer
Dear G‑d, I am sorry for the sin I did in Your presence by not donating more funds in support of democracy, liberty and freedom.
Dear G-d, I am sorry for the sin I did in Your presence for failing to get my children to understand the gravity of the situation.
Dear G‑d, I am sorry for the sin I did in Your presence by not realizing that freedom isn’t free and that in every generation your faithful are called upon to defend your blessings.
Dear G‑d, I am sorry for the sin I did in Your presence by not convincing some of my readers to stand up to Jew-hating and Jew-baiting bullies.
Dear G-d, I am sorry for the sin I did in Your presence by not teaching enough of my readers that QAnon, MAGA, The Proud Boys, The Oath Keepers and silent Republicans are cut from the same cloth.
Dear G-d, I am sorry for the sin I did in Your presence by not writing more blogs fighting fascism.
Dear G-d, I am sorry for the sin I did in Your presence by not convincing more of your people that Trump and his sycophants are racists, antisemites, homophobes, and misogynistic nationalists.
Dear G-d, I feel remorse, contrition and self-reproach for all of my failures or sins in not doing more to repair this broken world.
Therefore, and I beg your forgiveness.
I promise to continue to strive for Tikkum Olam in the coming year.
And as I reflect, repent, and seek renewal I say:
AMEN.
