The cost
Name what goes on the altar. Say Hineni anyway.
In the sitting
One thing you have been unwilling to surrender. Hold it. Do not drop it yet.
Ritual
Placing It on the Altar
- 1Identify one thing you have been unwilling to surrender — a habit, a resentment, a fear, a false self.
- 2Hold it. Don't try to let it go yet. Just hold it and look at it honestly.
- 3Whisper: Hineni. Here I am. And here is what I am carrying. I am willing to be changed.
- 4Let Hashem do the work. Your job is only the willingness.
Between weeks
- Whisper: Here I am. Here is what I am carrying. I am willing to be changed.
- Decide whether you will keep a monthly tamid after this room ends.
