Kids machzor part 2: Yom Kippur

[rhu]

Still scrambling to get everything done in time. Here's my current text for the vidui. The rest of the Amidah will be taken from the Rosh Hashanah machzor that I posted last week.

Suggestions for improvements very very welcome. [Note: If you're reading this on Facebook, please come to the original at my LiveJournal blog so the comments are all in one thread.]

I hope to get it formatted after Shabbat, since Sunday will be sukkah-building day.


Dear God,

We will not lie to you
We will not say "I did not sin"
We have sinned,
And we are sorry:



A. We have been angry
B. We have bullied
C. We have cheated
D. We have disobeyed parents and teachers
E. We have eaten things we should not
F. We have fought
G. We have been greedy

For all these sins, O God, we are sorry. Please forgive us.

H. We have hurt people
I. We have insulted people
J. We have joked when we should have been serious
K. We have kicked people
L. We have lied

For all these sins, O God, we are sorry. Please forgive us.

M. We have made messes
N. We have been naughty
O. We have been obstinate
P We have picked on people
Q We have quarreled
R We have robbed.

For all these sins, O God, we are sorry. Please forgive us.

S We have spilled secrets
T We have tattled.
U We have been unfriendly
V We have been violent
W We have wasted food
X We have made up excuses
Y We have disobeyed you

For all these sins, O God, we are sorry. Please forgive us.
