Rosh Hashanah is a serious day, a time of din and mishpat (judgment), when the Holy One, Blessed be He, REMEMBERS and JUDGES each of us. Sounds quite hairy and scary...But it shouldn't be. Because that very King and Judge--Who sees and remembers everything, and Who wants us to take the day (and our lives on this earth) very SERIOUSLY--is also (primarily) our loving FATHER. He remembers us FOR GOOD, and wants us to return to Him and His Torah....and to our true selves.
