I do want to wish everyone - and I mean EVERYONE - a good and sweet year to come. But, seemingly more appropriate, and a new one on me, is the traditional: Tichleh shanah v'kil'lotecha, tachel shanah u'virchotecha. May the year and its curses end; may the year and its blessings begin.

I had to look it up. It’s the refrain from Achot Ketana, a Sephardic song that imagines us as the little sister to the divine. It was written in the 13th c. and is sung on erev Rosh Hashanah

For me, Rosh Hashanah has gone pretty well, I'd say... Shofar, shogood.

Thank you
