Skimming through fashion magazines and getting the perfect style, one's haircut and fingernails painted, beauticians to beseech you. Fur coat dry cleaners, a higher heel than the year before, tiptoe through the tulips. To wear a full skirt like an Alice In Wonderland or a tight short skirt that exposes the knees? Curly hair or braided hair, dyed hair black or blonde? New eyeglasses that are of a golden metallic rim with the vision of a great artist to see your Cantor singing on the Bemah from your seat in the back of the Sanctuary, as if she is standing next to you, with you, all her words memorized singing with her. Time to sing at the services, singing along with the beat of the Cantor as she sings with you and with God.
Excitement! "Will you be at Temple on Selichot?" she asks you.
Sweet Kosher Red Wine and delicious finger desserts, a Nile River colored red, red wine from clear river water, a beautiful baby boy Moses rescued from the Nile, an infant, a new Prophet, the greatest of all Prophets!
God used Moses as His mouthpiece. Moses speaking God's Words from his soft stuttering young tongue, Words inscribed on stone tablets from Mount Sinai, 10 Commandments becoming 613 Commandments, soon to be Maimonides's 13 Commandments. Rambam, Talmud.
Our instructions: simply to love and fear God.
Skipping into the Sanctuary in keen cowboy boots humming to a Rosh Hashanah holy service, to welcome a new day, and a new month and a new year. Rosh Hashanah being 1 Tishrei the beginning of the new year 5778. A New Year's Eve to welcome the future!
A new you, an improved you, as a graduation reunion, friends from Hebrew School, a get together, "What's new? Did you receive my Rosh Hashanah Greetings card?"
Using a yad pointer to follow the Hebrew text Words, Hebrew language as your first language from your two souls reincarnated. Biblical Hebrew, "goo goo ga ga" Moses spoke to his Mother, and then he spoke to God.
If he can do it, we all can do it! Moses as a mentor, our leader, a great orator, a gentle smooth confident speaker, a prayer, a song, singing to God and praying to God for a good new sweet new year L' Shanah Tova!
