Geschlossen werden die Türen nach dem Markte ob dem dumpfen Rauschen des Mahlens, und erstarret bei dem Tone des Vogels, und gedämpft sind [ihm] alle Töchter des Gesanges. [Ehe denn die Freude an den Lebensgenüssen schwindet.]
Selichot Nusach Ashkenaz Lita
We did not seek Your Presence— to offer supplication, nor did we seek understanding of Your truth, because of the stench of our iniquity; we were destined for the same end as Sodom, for we diminished the sound of Torah,4Literally “mill”. The study of Torah is likened to the grinding of a mill which operates day and night. we were almost destroyed, but for Your grace.
