God Himself is the Judge. The shofar announces that the court is in session, and we are on trial, giving an account of our lives. Properly entered into, this is a potentially life-changing experience. It forces us to ask the most fateful questions we will ever ask: Who am I? Why am I here? How shall I live? How have I lived until now? How have I used God\u2019s greatest gift: time? Whom have I wronged, and how can I put it right? Where have I failed, and how shall I overcome my failures? What is broken in my life and needs mending? What chapter will I write in the book of life? The unexamined life, a philosopher said, is not worth living. No one who has genuinely experienced Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur lives an unexamined life.<\/p>\n<p>These are days of reflection and introspection when we stand in the conscious presence of Infinity, knowing how short and vulnerable life really is, and how little time we have here on earth. This can be, and should be, a life-changing experience. Unfortunately, it not always is. The prayers are long. Some of them, especially the piyutim, the liturgical poems with their elaborate acrostics and obscure word plays, are hard to understand. Others use imagery that can seem remote. The central image of Rosh HaShana is of God as King enthroned in the seat of judgment. That image would once have been self- evident, but there are fewer kings today than there once were, and even in the monarchies that remain, the role of royalty is often more symbolic than judicial. The prayers we say on Rosh HaShana span more than thirty centuries, and some need decoding if they are to speak to us today&#8230;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1VXDzqddvLk79xcM6HWJPzznUX2sIpRcT\/view?usp=sharing\">click to continue<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n(Used with permission of: Koren Publishers Jerusalem Ltd., from the <i>Koren Rosh Hashana Mahzor. <\/i>Introduction Copyright \u00a9 2012, 2018 Jonathan Sacks.
