Rosh Hoshanah 5712

In awe before the Creator
We begin the year
And time of Judgment-
Who will live and who will die?
Where have we erred?
And where can we make amends?
What Birth and what Sacrifice?
What Fear and what Hope?
As each day each new year
An unknown journey
With prayer to God
Solemnly and with Remembrance and Longing
We begin again.
