Just recently a new king’s coronation in England took place. All the important persons from all over the world wanted to take part in this event. Those who had the right to take part admitted that they were really lucky. but actually, each and every one of us has to prepare himself for the biggest coronation that happens each year where we reunite again with the biggest king ever.
Rosh Hashanah is one of the most important Jewish holidays (Sept. 16-17) It is the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, and a day of judgment and coronation of G-d as king. Mankind and all creatures in the world are judged by Heaven. On this holiday, the entire year’s abundance is given to the whole creation and each creature as well. The ultimate purpose of Rosh Hashanah is the coronation of G-d as king. The renewed individual bond of our soul happens with the king’s coronation. The coronation of the king of the world goes far beyond the fear of punishment; it renews our personal bond with G-d.
It means that we understand our personal mission in this world and in the service of G-d. When a person chooses good and seeks to fulfill his true mission, he receives divine assistance. The acceptance of G-d’s Kingship plays a key role during that day. Similarly, this is what will happen in the coming redemption, but on a much wider scale.
In Rosh Hashana, we need to hold two opposite emotions, joy and fear. As it says, “Serve the Lord in fear and rejoice with trembling” (Psalms 2:11). This verse is related to Rosh Hashana. Even where there is joy, there should be fear of G-D. Is there any greater privilege than serving the King of Kings and reconnecting ourselves to him? This is why the seven Noahide commandments should be done with joy.
For every Noahide, man, and woman, this day has a huge significance. Therefore, making proactive decisions regarding adding to the observance of the 7 commandments could be important for a successful year. In doing so, we get enormous blessings for the whole year.
