Kiddush Hashanah: Prayers for Dedicating the New Year

Kiddush Hashanah: Prayers for Dedicating the New Year

Whereas many piyutim (liturgical poems) were composed specifically for the evening of Rosh Hashanah, they did not become a standard part of the liturgy. This excerpt from the Conservative Machzor Lev Shalom for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur introduces a series of biblical readings, medieval prayers,and modern poems and meditations to dedicate the New Year.
