On Rosh Hashanah it is written, and on Yom Kippur it is sealed...

During these days between one time and another– what's on your heart?
Your mind?
Your soul?

I've typically gone frontal during this season but for a lot of reasons you can see that I'm trying to foster more of the community space here, and this seems honestly like a perfect time for an Ask the Community post.

What's coming up for you?

A letter that has been sealed cannot be tampered with without leaving evidence, and the seal itself is personal to the sealer. Sealing meant the words were safe or protected. It meant the letter was truly final. And the seal in the wax spoke to the authenticity of the sender. – Rabbanit Dr. Liz Shayne
