Intoned by the
congregation on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur)
"All vows, obligations, oaths, anathemas, whether called 'konam', 'konas', or by any other name, which we may vow, or swear, or pledge, or whereby we may be bound from this day of Atonement unto the next - whose happy coming we await - we do repent. May they be deemed absolved, forgiven, annulled and void, and made of no effect; they shall not bind us or have power over us. The vows shall not be reckoned as vows; the obligations shall not be obligatory; nor the oaths be oaths."
