ALEINU (Declaring the Sovereignty of YHVH over all creation)

It is necessary for us to praise the Master of all to exalt the Creator of the world for He has made us distinct from the nations and unique among the families of the earth. Our destiny is not like theirs. Our calling is our task.

We bow down* (this is said while bowing) and acknowledge before the King of Kings that there is none like Him. For he stretched forth the heavens like a tent and established the earth (Isaiah 51:13). Truly there is none like our YHVH and King.

As the Torah says, "You shall know this day and reflect in your heart that it is YHVH who is Elohim in the heavens above and on the earth beneath, there is none else.“(Deuteronomy 4:29)
