Description
Each September, as the Jewish New Year approaches, I meet it with anticipation of change and also a bit of foreboding. I hold in my heart the existential longing for something new -- the gateway of teshuvah, the holiday season of repentance. And then, sometime during those first hours of tefillot, I begin to wonder: This is supposed to feel new, and yet it is the same as it was in all the years past. Is teshuvah a fresh start -- does the liturgy really "turn" us -- or is this just part of a cyclical experience that we have each fall? This issue of Sh'ma focuses on the "new year" and first encounters -- with God, doubt, death, and ritual.
