An "Honor" Reading Still Takes Work, 3

       Floundering, but putting a lot of time in thinking and saying. 

       An important key, I'm finding, is a sense of direct petitioning of God, on behalf of the congregation and people, a sense of not saying it TO the audience, but, rather, for them to be able to overhear as a prayer in their interests.

       In a brief part asking God to be with those who suffer because they are Jews, I suddenly caught the ancient iconic reference in appealing to God to "lead them soon from bondage to freedom."

       Tomorrow I read on Yom Kippur morning.  Perhaps a chance to look it over one more time before the 9 o'clock service.
