Crowning God King"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The primary theme of the prayers on Rosh Ha-shana is crowning God as our king. For this reason, the third <em>berakha<\/em> of the <em>Amida<\/em> concludes with \u201c<em>ha-Melekh ha-kadosh<\/em>\u201d (the holy King) instead of the usual \u201c<em>ha-Kel ha-kadosh<\/em>\u201d (the holy God). We continue using this alternative conclusion throughout the Ten Days of Repentance. This change is so significant that if one forgets to make it, and concludes with \u201cthe holy God,\u201d he has not fulfilled his obligation and must repeat the <em>Amida<\/em> (SA 582:1; 5:2 below). On Rosh Ha-shana, we add sections to this <em>berakha <\/em>to pray for God to reveal His kingship:<\/p>\n<p>And so may Your name be sanctified, Lord our God, regarding Your people Israel, regarding Your city Jerusalem, regarding Zion, the dwelling place of Your glory, regarding the royal house of David, Your anointed, and regarding Your place and sanctuary\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Every creature will revere You, and all of creation will bow before You, and they will be bound together to carry out Your will with an undivided heart\u2026<\/p>\n<p>All wickedness will dissipate like smoke when You remove wanton governance from the earth. And You will reign \u2013 You, Lord our God, alone \u2013 over all that You made, on Mount Zion, the dwelling place of Your glory, and in Jerusalem, Your sacred city.<\/p>\n<p>The conclusion of the holiday-themed fourth <em>berakha<\/em> in every <em>Amida <\/em>as well as in <em>kiddush <\/em>on Rosh Ha-shana is: \u201cKing over all the earth, Who sanctifies Israel and the Day of Remembrance.\u201d In <em>Musaf<\/em>, the main prayer of Rosh Ha-shana, during which we blow the shofar, our Sages instituted three central <em>berakhot<\/em>, each of which comprises an entire section of the <em>Amida<\/em>: <em>Malkhuyot<\/em>, <em>Zikhronot<\/em>, and <em>Shofarot.<\/em> <em>Malkhuyot<\/em>, the first of these <em>berakhot<\/em>, is the foremost of these <em>berakhot <\/em>and mentions the holiness of the day. It, too, concludes: \u201cKing over all the earth, Who sanctifies Israel and the Day of Remembrance.\u201d We see that the primary theme of <em>Yom Ha-zikaron<\/em> is crowning God king. In truth, <em>Zikhronot<\/em> also relates to God as the King of the world, Who remembers all of His creations. Similarly, <em>Shofarot<\/em> deals with the manifestation of His kingship in the world by means of the shofar. This is both reminiscent of Sinai and a foreshadowing of the future, for it is the blowing of a great shofar that will gather all the exiles, who will then bow before God in Jerusalem. Our shofar blasts manifest His kingship as well; due to the dread they instill, we stand before Him broken and repentant.<\/p>\n<p>Given our anxiety about the upcoming year, we could have devoted the entire day of judgment to personal prayers for livelihood, health, and everything else that preoccupies people all year. However, the Jews are unique in that their deeper desire is for God\u2019s kingship to be manifest and for the whole world to be repaired and redeemed, even if they will need to suffer to attain that goal. This is the great, awe-inspiring path that the Jewish people have chosen, from the times of our patriarchs and matriarchs, who chose to believe in God despite all the idolatry around them, through the long exile when, despite all their suffering, the Jewish people chose not to assimilate and instead continued to carry the banner of faith and Torah, to establish the world under the kingship of God.<\/p>\n<p>When the Jewish people set aside their sorrows and work for God\u2019s honor and the manifestation of His kingship, God says to the angels, \u201cLook at My dear children, who leave their troubles aside and work for My honor.\u201d This silences the accuser (<em>satan<\/em>), who wishes to rid the world of the Jews. Thus, Israel is granted a new year in which they will take another step toward repair and redemption. The more we humbly accept God\u2019s rule with fear, joy, and trembling on Rosh Ha-shana, the better and more blessed a year we will experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The primary theme of the prayers on Rosh Ha-shana is crowning God as our king.
