Rosh Hashana: Head of The Year

Today as I set forth my week, I find this short snippet of information to be words to chew on. Rosh Hashana is the head of the year, according to the Jewish culture. What does it mean, though? And why do we eat sweet things, apples dipped in honey?

Read this article for a deeper understanding on Rosh Hashana. Concise, yet speaking volumes about the holiday to come. Time to reboot with God's energy circuit, don't you think? Meditate on these words, and may you be inscribed and sealed for a good year.

God's Lawyers

On Rosh Hashana, God takes Himself to court.

He looks down from above at this world and, as I'm sure you may realize, it doesn't always look so good.

God is within this world as well. He is found in every atom of this world. It may sound strange, but this is what is happening: He as He is above takes Himself, as He is present within this world, to trial.

Only the soul of Man can argue on His behalf. So we do that, as lawyers for the defense. All that is required is to awaken the Godliness within our own souls.

The spark of God within us below connects with the Infinite Light of God above. The circuit is complete and the universe is rebooted with a fresh flow of energy for an entire year.
