Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

A Sign of the Season

When you feel you want to despair
     It's a sign that God truly cares

   Comes Rosh Hashana this season 
     ~ Search deep for the reason



   ______________________________
   Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year,
   begins early Sunday evening and ends
   on Tuesday evening. One of the holi-
   day's many themes is 'Repentance,' 
   requiring an examination of one's 
   deeds over the past year.

L Milton Hankins September 22, 2022 at 10:26 AM You have raised a fine theological question, gw. I shall not pursue it, as I have done on many occasions in the past. I, too, have cast bread onto the waters! Happy Rosh Hashana, my friend. Gershon Wolf September 22, 2022 at 6:52 PM Whew! I am no good at theological discussions myself. Better at things of the heart and the spirit. ~ gw
