In the stillness of this morning 07/02/2008 5:54:13 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, there is retaliatory cry. This is a day of atonement.   Let it be to me according to your word.    Call the skilled mourners of Zion. Not only did the actual relatives mourn, but they hired professional mourners, ... “Consider ye, and call for the mourning women” (Jeremiah 9:17).

Not only did the actual relatives mourn, but they hired professional mourners, “because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets” (Ecclesiastes 12:5). “Consider ye, and call for the mourning women” (Jeremiah 9:17). In this same verse they are also referred to as “cunning women,” which suggests that there were certain techniques which these women practiced with unusual skill. Jesus went to Jairus's house to heal his daughter and “saw the minstrels and the people making a noise” (Matthew 9:23).Holman Bible Dictionary

 Today we will call the town (criers) minstrels. The Town criers minstrel will orchestrate and they will tune up the band to the A-tone...Atonement. The Town minstrels will be directed to tune up the to the A tone-Atonement.   Let it be to me according to your word.

phone  fo-nay':  a tone (articulate, bestial or artificial); by implication, an address (for any purpose), saying or language -- noise, sound, voice. Fonah'-Phonation-tone, sound of a cry-lamentation -- wailing, weeping, wept. - a cry for help, from pain or distress, and are frequently used for crying to God

Music A tone meaning...Why is A 440 used to tune an orchestra? A440, also known as the A above "middle C", and further known as the note most commonly associated with 440 hertz was made the international standard for pitch decided upon in 1955 (ISO 16), and was reaffirmed by the same organization in 1975.In music tuning an instrument means getting it ready so that when it is played it will sound at the correct pitch: not too high or too low. When two or more instruments play together it is particularly important that they are in tune with one another. This means that when they play the same note it is indeed exactly the same note. If the two instruments are not in tune with one another it will sound unpleasant because two notes which are very slightly different in pitch will produce a “beat”.

The appellate tone is the neighborhood will be the A tone-Atonement.   Let it be to me according to your word.

Gather the skilled mourners a regional mourning. Call the assembly to the Wailing (Western) Wall  ...

 

 

 

1) Site of the Holy Temple
The Western Wall is a surviving remnant of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, which was destroyed by Titus in 68 C.E. The Temple, the center of the spiritual world, was the main conduit for the flow of Godliness into this world. When the Temple stood, there was respect for God, for His Torah - and for each other. There was no doubt about God's existence. There were no atheists. Every body acknowledged one God and understood the genius of His laws. The world was filled with awe of God and love of God.

The Temple Mount is also called Mount Moriah. This is the spot where Abraham bound Isaac, and where Jacob dreamt of the ladder reaching to heaven. The Sages explain that the name "Moriah" is actually a play on words: "Moriah is the place from which instruction (horah) goes forth, from which the fears of heaven (yirah) goes forth; from which light (orah) goes forth."

 

2) Permanent Reminder of God's Presence
The Sages prophesied that after the Temple's destruction, the Divine Presence will never leave the Western Wall. For this reason, the Wall will never be destroyed. The Wall is endowed with everlasting sanctity. The Talmud (Megillah 3:3) says: "And I will make your sanctuaries desolate" (Leviticus 26:31) - this means that the sanctuaries retain their sanctity even when they are desolate. (See "Mystical Secret of the Western Wall")

 

3) Place of Pilgrimage and Tears
During the times of the Temple, Jews from around Israel would make pilgrimage to Jerusalem three times each year. During the 1900-year exile, Jews would travel to Jerusalem at great expense and danger, just to have the chance to pray at the Wall. There, they would pour their hearts out to God, beseeching him for Jewish redemption. They watered the Wall with their tears and melted the stones with their kisses.

4) Focus of Prayers
Three times a day, for thousands of years, Jewish prayers from around the world have been directed toward the Western Wall. As Rabbi Judah HaLevy so poignantly said: "I am in the west, but my heart is in the east (Jerusalem)."

5) Built with Love and Dedication
 

When the Temple was being built, the work was divided among the different sectors of the population. The building of the Western Wall fell to the lot of the poor, and they worked hard to construct it, as they could not afford to hire laborers to do their work for them.

When the enemy destroyed the Temple, the Angels descended from on high and - spreading their wings over the Wall - said: "This Wall, the work of the poor, shall never be destroyed." (from "Legends of the Land of Israel")

6) Site of Jewish Heroism
When the First and Second Temples were destroyed, and during the Bar Kochba revolt, Israel's heroes fought like lions for every stone of the Temple. They have served as the example of bravery for Jews ever since.

Like them, our soldiers in 1967 fought in holy trepidation to liberate the Western Wall and the Temple Mount. By Rabbi Shraga Simmons, based on "The Western Wall," published by the Israeli Ministry of Defense

  Let it be to me according to your word.   I cry-cried out to the Lord. He heard my cry and pitied every groan. I atone for my sins...I have missed the mark. I have hurt you dear God. Do not hold my sins to my charge and please don't hold my generations ransom. It is me dear Lord standing in the need of prayer. So please open the book of life and wipe my slate clean. c  Let it be to me according to your word.

I have missed the mark concerning my God, my friends and family and my assignment.Please blot out my personal, familiar, generational transgression, sin and iniquity.

May I be blotted out of the book of the condemned, And may I be recorded with the righteous. For Your praise is in accordance with Your name. You are difficult to anger and easy to appease. For You do not desire the death of the condemned, but that he turn from his path and live.

Let my repentance, prayer and Jesus righteousness avert your severe decree.

I put away, I reject. I run away from my past bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from me, with all malice. I will  kind to one family and friends, tenderhearted, forgiving family and friends, even as God in Christ forgave me.

I plead my case before the Highest courts in heaven Jesus as my advocate. Full pardon is my plea. Blot it out dear Lord.  "Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD, though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool." (Isaiah 1:18) "As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us." (Psalm 103:12)
