The Passage
About the New Year
About this poem
The birth of new beginnings, heralding old truths and new lies. Janus looks haughtily over the affairs of men instructing them to learn from the experiences of the past, equipping them to face the travails of the future. Above the watchers watch ecstatic as filii hominum pass the threshold from the old year into the new year. Felicem Annum Novum Rosh Hashanah They cry to the heavenly choir who enthrall Hashem with infinite carols. Hashem looks below in delight at his creations and charts their course as ordained as has been written. more »
