As America finds itself in the throes of a highly contentious election season, one considered by many to be particularly fateful, Jews worldwide are gearing up for a very fateful "election" of a different sort: the Rosh Hashanah "Coronation" of the Almighty as King of the Universe (October 2-4).
On Rosh Hashanah, along with our petitions to G-d to inscribe each of our loved ones for a happy, healthy and sweet New Year, we also pray for the entire world and "cast our votes" in favor of G‑d's renewed Sovereignty over the world and Providence overeverything in our lives and our society.
By listening to the cry of the Shofar, partaking of the holiday festivities, and directing ourheartfelt prayers Heavenward, we help secure the stability of our society and theentire world.
Though every "vote" is counted, the "election code" (i.e., the Torah) stipulates that there are actions one can take during these critical final "campaign" days before the High Holidays to gain more favorable consideration of one's petition — such as: increasing one's charitable deeds, intensifying the study and perpetuation of Torah, and reaching out to one's fellow with caring and kindness.
One way you can enact such deeds of loving-kindness and propel the free dissemination of Judaism to a whole new level and to entirely new audiences is by supporting the efforts of Chabad.org!
