The readiness into how people make promises and the ease that it has become to break them has truly tarnished the luster of what it is to promise something to someone.
All personal vows we are likely to make, all personal oaths and pledges we are likely to take between this Yom Kippur and the next Yom Kippur, we publicly renounce. Let them all be relinquished and abandoned, null and void, neither firm nor established. Let our personal vows, pledges and oaths be considered neither vows nor pledges nor oaths.
So on this New Year's Eve, I make no promise or pledge. My words will stand as they are. No greater or worse. May I live up to them.
Have a good one folks.
