Hinine — The Prayer of the Hazzan

The Hazzan acknowledges the weighty burden as Shaliach
Tzibbur, the representative of the congregation before God.

Hinine — The Prayer of the Hazzan

Here I am.
Poor in deeds.
Trembling in fear, in terror, before God, enthroned on the praises of Israel.
I have come to stand and plead before thee
For thy people Israel who have sent me,
Even though I am unworthy of the task.
Therefore I beg of thee,
God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob;
The Lord; The Lord; God; Compassionate; Gracious;
God of Israel;
Shadai; Ultimate in Awe;
Make my way successful
As I rise to request pity for myself, and for those who have sent me.
