Liturgy sobre Jeremías 2:45

And by the hand of Your servants, the Prophets it is written: “Go and proclaim it in the ears of Yerushalayim, saying: thus said Adonoy, I remembered for you the kindness of your youth,⁵²According to Malbim “the kindness of your youth” refers to the kindness of our forefathers who accepted the Oneness of Hashem and proclaimed His Kingship to a world steeped in the worship of idols. Metsudas Dovid maintains however that “the kindness of your youth” refers to the kindness Hashem bestowed on us at the early stage of our history, when He selected Yisrael as His special, unique people. the love of your bridal days,⁵³This refers to the love Hashem bestowed on Yisrael when He gave us the Torah at Sinai. Our Sages refer to this event as the canopy, the chupah, by which the children of Yisrael were betrothed to Him.—Malbim, Metsudas Dovid how you followed Me into the wilderness,⁵⁴Hashem recalls the faith of His people who followed Moshe into the wilderness.—Malbim, Metsudas Dovid
Rashi maintains that the entire verse refers to one period of time. He says that the kindness of our youth was manifested when we followed Him, i.e., His messengers, Moshe and Ahahron, into the wilderness. in a land that was not cultivated.”⁵⁵Yirmiyahu 2:2. And it is said: “I will remember My covenant [which I made] with you in the days of your youth, and I will fulfill it for you as an everlasting covenant.”⁵⁶Yechezkel 16:60. And it is said: “Is Ephraim not My precious son, is he not a child of delight? For whenever I speak of him, I recall him even more;⁵⁷These words must be understood in the context of the two sentences (Yirmiyahu 31:17-18) preceding them. I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself, saying: “You have chastised me and I was chastised ... I was ashamed, I was also disgraced, because I bear the humiliation of the sins of my youth.” Thus, explains Rabbenu Shlomo of Germaza, when Hashem hears Ephraim’s words of repentance, He is moved to proclaim His Divine love for him and to recall His delight in him. Ephraim is the name by which the ten tribes of Yisrael was referred. Therefore, My innermost being is aroused for him, I will surely have compassion on him,⁵⁸The Almighty pledges His Divine mercy and promises to deliver them from exile.—Radak says Adonoy.”⁵⁹Yirmiyahu 31:19. After reciting this verse, you might offer this silent prayer: Master of the Universe, remember on this Day of Judgment, that we are Your precious and loving children. Is there another nation in the entire world that gives You such נַחַת רוּחַ, pleasure, from the fulfillment of Your sacred commandments, as we do. We therefore beseech You, our God, arouse Your mercy upon Your holy people and deliver us from this bitter exile, so that Your great and sacred Name will no longer be desecrated among the nations of the world.—Yesod Veshoresh HaAvodah

We have been guilty; we have eaten forbidden foods. We have been unfaithful; we have [neglected] your Torah. We have robbed, we have stolen; we have been proud. We have spoken slander and evil speech, we have spoken one [thing] in [our] mouth and [another] in [our] mind. We have caused others to be iniquitous; we conjured up bad thoughts during the day and came to the impurity of an emission at night. And we have caused others to do evil; we have gathered together for a sinful matter. We have been malicious; we have followed the lusts of our hearts and our eyes. We have extorted; we have coveted; we have desecrated Shabbats and Your holy festivals. We have joined with falsehood and deceit. We have given harmful advice without limit. We have deceived; we have become angry. We have mocked. We have rebelled; we have been insubordinate towards Your words; we have rebelled against the Kingdom of heaven; we have rebelled against the kingdom of the House of David; we have rejected the Temple – and we are requesting the three of them. We have provoked; we have committed adultery; we have vowed but not paid. We have strayed; we have been rebellious and disobedient. We have been iniquitous; we have transgressed positive commandments and negative commandments; we have transgressed against [laws, the punishments for which are] excision and the death penalties of the court; we have transgressed [not to] desecrate [God’s] name. We have sinned rebelliously; we have made the holy covenant defective. We have caused grief; we have pained father and mother. We have been stiff-necked; we have damaged the channels of bounty. We have been evil; we have been bad to the Heavens and to the creatures. We have destroyed; we have lied; we have destroyed seed for naught and created a destructive force to destroy – my heart, my heart, for their corpses; my innards, my innards for those they killed! Woe to the evildoer, for the recompenses of his hands will be done to him. We have committed abominations; we have gone astray; we have led others astray. And we have turned away from Your commandments and from Your good laws, and we have gained nothing from it. And You are the Righteous One in all [punishment] that has come upon us; for You have acted truthfully and we have acted evilly.
