Liturgy do Ezechiela 36:16

Rabbi Akiva said: How fortunate are you, Israel; before Whom are you purified, and Who purifies you? It is your Father in Heaven, as it is stated: “And I will sprinkle purifying water upon you, and you shall be purified” (Ezekiel 36:25). And it says: “The ritual bath of Israel is God” (Jeremiah 17:13). Just as a ritual bath purifies the impure, so too, the Holy One, Blessed be He, purifies Israel.

You have abandoned us, O Master, these many years—why? We have become as astonishment, an example, a byword, a scorn, a shame and disgrace.⁶Among the nations of the world who persecute us. Speedily fulfill the promise that You made to the desolate [land]: “I, Adonoy, build the ruins, and plant that which was desolate.”⁷Ezekiel 36:36.
