L'shanah tovah tikatev v'taihatem
"Today is the birthday of the world". This does not refer to the first day of creation, but rather to the sixth day - the creation of Man, for whom the entire universe was created. We believe that God not only created, but continues to take an active role in running the world. It makes sense that, as in every large enterprise or project, there is a regular (yearly) review and plan for the upcoming year.
On Rosh Hashana it is written, and on Yom Kippur it is sealed - how many will pass from the earth and how many will be created; who will live and who will die; who will die at his predestined time and who before his time; who by water and who by fire, who by sword, who by beast, who by famine who by plague, who by strangulation and who by stoning. Who will rest and who will wander, who will live in harmony and who will be harried, who will enjoy tranquility and who will suffer, who will be impoverished and who will be enriched, who will be degraded and who will be exalted. U'netanu Tokef prayer
Truth
is the
Sword of Gevurah
that the Just Warrior wields with Mighty Power!
I say unto Thee:
Defend Thy Honor fiercely
with Noble Courage that Towers above the Tide.
I say unto Thee:
Feed the Hungry of Body and Spirit,
Give them Hope for Health and Livelihood.
I say unto Thee:
Protect the folk from those who would seek to steal away
their precious rights!
I say unto Thee:
Be Thou Swift to shine the Light of Truth upon
those who deceive, delude and dishonor,
hiding behind the dark veil of privilege.
Shine the Light now,
so that Ye may walk with Honor to Thy Destiny.
Rememberest Thou:
whatsoever is the will of man...
the Lord God demands Truth and Justice
from those who would seek to serve
Heaven...
Understand why it Rains, Know why the Wind Howls:
Be Wise when you are offered the Hand of Redemption!
Justice must prevail!
You are the Servant
that must Right the great Injustice that has been wrought.
(Autumn Season by Rabbi Alyjah Navy)

I'm not religious, I'm not Jewish, Let's hope and pray that this new year is a happier one for the Jewish peoples. Thank you Linda.
