Recalculating
by Shmuel Zev HakohenDon't wait till you're really lost.
On Rosh Hashanah, the Day of Judgment, we don't spend the day pleading for our lives to be spared. Why not?
It is when we are broken that we recognize God as our true home.
The gates are open, but the time is short. How do we merit the privilege of the king's presence?
I often felt resentful toward God, until I discovered that Rosh Hashanah is about empowerment, not guilt.
Yes these are Days of Awe, but they are days of exhilaration too.
