Before asking for our needs, we want to be pure. The proper prayers lead us to the point that we can ask for ourselves and even then our wish should not be selfish.

Sit quietly and meditate on the good things that you plan to do in the coming year. Do not recall &lsquo;bad&rsquo; things so you won&rsquo;t remind the court of your bad deeds. We want to be judged with consideration of our good future plans. When the service starts, pray to God to bestow clarity and focus in the mind of the person that leads the prayers.
