Happy Rosh Hashana(New Year)

[Christina]

Happy New Year to our Jewish FriendsToday is 1 Tishrei 5767Entering the Palace of the King The gates are open, but the time is short.Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, marks the anniversary of the creation of man. Elul,the month prior to Rosh Hashana, is designated as a time of inventory, a time to take stockof what we want to perpetuate into the new year and what we want to let go of. The Hebrewword for year - shana - implies both "change" and "repetition." Rosh Hashana is both thebirthday of man and the day of judgment. ENTERING the PALACE How do we merit the privilege of the king's presence? Proximity to a Being who is not boundby time or space can only be achieved by resemblance to His Essence. God is perfect and allthe Godlike deeds that we perform make us more like him and bring us a notch closer tohis perfection and hence His presence
