- Clear Away the Cobwebs of Convention
- Holiness and Faith Are the Rewards
- How Might I, in Faith, Do as You Ask
- Ismail and Yitzhak Are Half-Brothers
- O Lord, Our Hope and Our Redeemer
- Reason Ought Not Be the Enemy
- Reason Says, of Course, that There's No Book
- Remember as You Scour Your Soul for Sin
- Remember the Utility of Shame
- Remorse Is Not a Synonym for Shame
- Repentence Is Quite Different from Regret
- Return Each Year to Test the Ancient Waters
- Revelation Leads to Revolution
- Revelation Strikes You as Absurd
- Revenge Is Often Taken in the Mind
- Righteousness Ought Not Be for One's Self
- Ritual Recalls the Revelation
- Rosh Hashanah Opens to the Page
- Rosh Hashanah Opens Up the Book
- Ye of Little Faith, You're Welcome Here
- Year After Year, You Promise to Atone
- Yearning Is a Function of Atonement
- Years Pass, the Sins Remain
- Yes, There Is a Lot One Need Atone for
- Yom Kippur Remains a Day of Morning
- You Are Not, Will Not, Do Not What You Dream
- You Cannot Be the Person You Might Wish
- You Cannot Get Away from Being Plural
- You Cannot Think the Book of Life Will Close
- You Find but Little Solace in Success
- You Pray Not for Yourself Alone but All
- You Pray to Be Included in the Book
- You Wish to Live a Long and Healthy Life
- You Wonder Whether Fate Is Accidental
- You Wrap Your Mind Around the Consequence
- You'd Like a Shot at Serious Redemption
