Wikipedia tells me that Shana Tova is an appropriate greeting for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, which is taking place today.
In Jewish thought, Rosh Hashanah is the most important judgment day, on which all the inhabitants of the world pass for judgment before the Creator, as sheep pass for examination before the shepherd. It is written in the Talmud, in the tractate on Rosh Hashanah that three books of account are opened on Rosh Hashanah , wherein the fate of the wicked, the righteous, and those of an intermediate class are recorded. The names of the righteous are immediately inscribed in the book of life, and they are sealed “to live.” The middle class are allowed a respite of ten days till Yom Kippur, to repent and become righteous ; the wicked are “blotted out of the book of the living” (Psalms 69:29).
So, good luck out there.
I think the holiday might just be credited with a miracle if it had anything to do with rushing the vote yesterday before there were enough members lined up to pass it. The middle class was indeed granted a respite but I am afraid that we will not be given ten days before our fate is sealed.
