Ever got to talk to the President? That would be pretty cool! Imagine walking to your car and you look up and the President is just right there! And he's like "Hey, what's up?" So you tell him about your day, about how you're really good about your taxes and how you'd change things at the airport security screanings. You can't believe that the President of the United States is just standing there listening to you ramble on about how you'd really like a tax cut! Don't you usually have to get an appointment through the Secret Service or something? Well, dream no more! I'll do you one better. During the month before Rosh Hashana the Master of the World is out and about. He's just waiting for someone to walk right up to Him and say, "Master of the Universe, I am Your son. I am Your daughter. I am Your servant. Just watch me this year, You'll see."
Something like that.

Is it stuffy in here, or is it just me?
Is it holy in here, or is that all Shuls?
Is it hungry in here, or is that Yom Kippur?
Like a shot of fresh air, Rosh Hashana arrives and revives.
All year round, running here or walking there. Today is when I back out for a moment or two, or two days.
And G-d knows it.
Hey, He knows everything. He certainly knows about His own holidays.
High holidays.
Like a shot of fresh air, pulsing through the entire world, He gives us new energy, for a whole new year.
Ahh, just what I needed.

Is that your alarm clock? You were just getting comfortable.
My goodness, that sounds like an army.
Or a little baby. Yeah. Maybe a baby.
A Shofar is kind of like an alarm clock, no?
Except, no snooze button.
It's basically a wake-up call.
Is it a wake-up call for you, or for G-d?
Maybe both.
Yeah. Both sounds about right.
He's a pretty good Shofar blower.
He should try doing that for a living.
It could be a whole new beginning for him.
Hey, today's a pretty good day for new beginnings.

I hate to project, but this new project that we're working on is in the works. The name of this site is Sister Child, based loosely on the Yiddish term for cousin, Schvesterkind. Being that this new and exiting project is the work of a collaboration, a joint effort between two humans who happen to be cousins, I thought it appropriate to name the site dedicated to this project Schvesterkind, Schvester meaning sister and kind meaning child. But being that our core audience is of the English speaking persuasion, I took the liberty of translating the Yiddish terminology literally, thereby effectively creating the name SisterChild.BlogSpot.Com. If you care to enjoy this, by all means, enjoy away. If you don't care to, well then just mosey on out of here. OK, Bye.
