The day before:
Because we cannot receive the forgiveness of G-d
Without the forgiveness of our fellows
We ask today for forgiveness from all
Whom we have offended.

Kol Nidre:
It dramatizes the ideal
Of holding every spoken word
As a hallowed pledge.
++
Thus, the tie to the Christ.
Thus, the justification of the monk. 

It is just wonderfully holy
That the entire world for a short time
Is engulfed by the same amount of darkness and light.

PS The new structure is beginning to incorporate the old!
