The forty-eight hours of Rosh HaShana are considered to be one day as are the two hemispheres inside the head is considered to be one brain; actually there are three major sections of the brain, the third being the cerebellum at the back. The middle of the forehead corresponds to Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement; Rosh literally means Head–the Head of the Year.
All bodily functions begin in the head; similarly, all events for the coming year are already taking shape inside these two days that celebrate the beginning of human history on planet earth–the birth of Adom/Adam 5770 years ago. It is during these two days that the blessings of God saturate the earth.
The Jewish People commemorate this day by sounding the Shofar/Ram’s Horn; the commandment of the Shofar in the Torah is related to Avraham/Abraham who at the moment before slaying his son Yitzchok/Issac he saw a ram in the thicket and sacrificed the ram instead–3800 years later the Jewish People sound the shofar to remind God we are the children of the father and son ready to sacrifice themselves for God.
The Cabala explains the reason time is circular because “The end fits into the beginning and the beginning fits into the end;” Rosh HaShana represents the point of connection between end and beginning–each completed cycle makes a new ring in the crown of creation worn by the Creator.
It is during these ten day between Rosh HaShana and Yom Kipur that we call God Malech/King as we ask for God’s blessing.
May the world be blessed with peace.
