Yom Hakipurim From Wikipedia: Yom Kippur also known as the Day of Atonement, is one of the holiest days of the year for Jews. Yom Kippur is the tenth day of the month of Tishrei. According to Jewish tradition, God inscribes each person's fate for the coming year into a book, the Book of Life, on Rosh Hashanah, and waits until Yom Kippur to "seal" the verdict. During the Days of Awe, a Jew tries to amend his or her behavior and seek forgiveness for wrongs done against God (bein adam leMakom) and against other human beings (bein adam lechavero). The evening and day of Yom Kippur are set aside for public and private petitions and confessions of guilt (Vidui). At the end of Yom Kippur, one considers one's self absolved by God. The Yom Kippur prayer service includes several unique aspects. One is the actual number of prayer services. Unlike a regular day, which has three prayer services (Ma'ariv, the evening prayer; Shacharit, the morning prayer; and Mincha, the afternoon prayer), or a Shabbat or Yom Tov, which have four prayer services (Ma'ariv; Shacharit; Musaf, the additional prayer; and Mincha), Yom Kippur has five prayer services (Ma'ariv; Shacharit; Musaf; Mincha; and Ne'ilah, the closing prayer). The prayer services also include a public confession of sins (Vidui) and a unique prayer dedicated to the special Yom Kippur avodah (service) of the Kohen Gadol in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. As one of the most culturally significant Jewish holidays, Yom Kippur is observed by many secular Jews who may not observe other holidays. Many secular Jews attend synagogue on Yom Kippur--for many secular Jews the High Holidays are the only recurring times of the year in which they attend synagogue,[1]--causing synagogue attendance to soar, and almost two-thirds fast U Netane Tokef - Yom Hakipurim prayer singer Hanoch Albalak. Yair Rosenblum wrote the music after the Yom Kipur War - 1973.
Listen and look: Unetane Tokef PrayerThe following is
the full translated text of the great prayer, "U'Netaneh Tokef," attributed to
Rabbi Amnon of Mainz, as related to Rabbi Klonimus ben Meshullam. FROM www.ou.org/chagim/roshhashannah/unetanehtext.htm
Congregation and chazzan: So now, the Kedushah prayer shall ascend to You, for
You, our God, are King. Chazzan: All mankind will pass before You like members of the flock. Like a shepherd pasturing his flock, making sheep pass under his staff, so shall You cause to pass, count, calculate, and consider the soul of all the living; and You shall apportion the fixed needs of all Your creatures and inscribe their verdict. Congregation then
chazzan [in some congregations this is recited only by the chazzan]: Congregation aloud,
then chazzan: Remove the Evil of the Decree! Congregation and chazzan: It is true that You are their Creator and You know
their inclination, for they are flesh and blood. A man's origin is from dust and his
destiny is back to dust, at risk of his life he earns his bread; he is likened to a broken
shard, withering grass, a fading flower, a passing shade, a dissipating cloud, a blowing
wind, flying dust, and a fleeting dream. But You are the King, the Living and
Enduring G-d.
There is no set span to Your years and there is no end to the length of Your days. It is
impossible to estimate the angelic chariots of Your glory and to elucidate Your Name's
inscrutability. Your Name is worthy of You and You are worthy of Your Name, and You have
included Your Name in our name.

The "Ana be koach" prayer is named after the first two words of the prayer. It has been taken from the Sefer Yetzira book, which Abraham wrote. Each and every one of the seven combinations of the prayer can take one to a higher energetic level, to a secret code connecting one to a channel of a different energetic dimension "Ana be koach" is divided to 7 verses. The first letters of every word form together seven letter
sequences containing each 6 letters, 42 letters combined. This sequence
is called "ben membet" or "the 42 letters". The importance of encrypted
letters "mem-bet " is eminent in the primary prayers, for instance : the
first verse of the "shema Israel" prayer contains 42 letters and each
word is parallel to one of the 42 letters. Another example is the
"shmone -esre" prayer, and the "amida" prayer, which begins with a
blessing of 42 words. So does a main part of the "kadish", "...".
These
are 7 words are composed by 6 letters each and are parallel to the 7
combinations of the mem-bet otiot. Throughout the generations, "Ana be
koach" has become a part of the prayer book and is present in the
morning and afternoon prayer service, and also in the welcoming of the
Sabbath, before the "lecha dodi" psalm. Each of the 7 combinations of "Ana be koach" can take one to a higher energetic level, to a secret code, which connects us to an energetic channel of a different strata. In the "Shaar kavanot" book, the sacred Ari writes that without the "Ana be koach" prayer a person cannot elevate to high spiritual levels. Gmar Hatima Tova!
