The atmosphere in the synagogue is intense. You can almost touch the Divine Presence. Isaiah said: \u201cSeek God where He is to be found, call on Him when He is close\u201d (Is. 55:6). The rabbis wrestled with this verse. What could it mean? God is the God of everywhere and all time. He is always to be found, always close. The verse seemed to make no sense at all.<br \/>\nThis was their reply: \u201cThese are the Ten Days of Repentance between Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur\u201d \u2013 meaning, God is always close to us, but we are not always close to Him. He is always to be found, but we do not always seek Him out. To sense the closeness of God needs some special effort on our part. To reach out to the Infinite in finite space, to meet the Eternal in the midst of time, to sense what ultimately lies beyond the senses, requires a focus far beyond the ordinary. <br \/>\nIt needs a drama of holiness, enacted in our holiest place, the synagogue, at the holiest of times, Yamim Nora\u2019im, the Days of Awe. To begin it needs a sound \u2013 the shofar \u2013 so piercing and strange that it wakes us out of our everyday consciousness into an awareness of being present at something vast and momentous. We need to come close to God for God to feel close to us. That is what happens on the Ten Days of Repentance, and it begins on Rosh HaShana\u2026. <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1VXDzqddvLk79xcM6HWJPzznUX2sIpRcT\/view?usp=sharing\">click to continue<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(Used with permission of: Koren Publishers Jerusalem Ltd., from the <i>Koren Rosh Hashana Mahzor. <\/i>Introduction Copyright \u00a9 2012, 2018 Jonathan Sacks.
