On #YomKippur , Jews recite an alphabetical confession, a 'vidui.' While powerful, the list leaves out many ills of our age: failure to see, much less confront, racism, sexism, injustice. Retreating into our phones. Tribalism. I needed a new vidui. Maybe you do, too.

We have been Absent
We have been Blind to others' suffering
We have been Cold-hearted and Dogmatic
We have been Entitled
We have Fomented discord
We have been Greedy for acceptance

We have Hardened our souls to inequity and Inflicted needless suffering
We have Judged unjustly and Known better than our deeds admit
We have been Lazy in our thoughts and limited in our imagination
We have been Miserly, Noisome, and Oppressive
We have been Petty and Quarrelsome

We have Vilified our adversaries
We have Wasted opportunities for reconciliation and healing and sought eXpiation without doing the work of repair
We have Yoked ourselves to systems, tribes, and persons rather than values, ideals, and priorities
