Yom Kippur

“For all these we seek t’shuvah; We will not stand idly by. For the sin of torture by Americans against detainees in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba: for sensory deprivation, for isolation, for detention in damp, frigid cells...for all these we seek t’shuvah; We will not stand idly by.” (Prayer by Rabbi Simcha Y. Weintraub)
