'For the sins we have committed': Reimagining Yom Kippur liturgy in a post-Oct. 7 world Hovering over this 5786 holiday season is a sense of moral and spiritual crisis that calls out for liturgical innovation.

Al Chet additions for 5786 (some, only):

Al Chet for the sin of bringing death and devastation upon our neighbor.
Al Chet for the sin of starving people, especially innocent children.
Al Chet for the sin of indifference and blindness.
