Hebrew Synagogue Poems - The Beginning of a Tokef

This is a translation from Joel Hoffman, a book that was entirely devoted to interpretations when it's time to publish about a decade ago. We're all going to soften the approach, but just to sort of bring the full weight of the the opening of this poem. This is a classic image of Russia may be familiar with: Vittis hanishka, vittis at sei tafipat nihu anoh right? So this is what you've already been signed up for in Russian Shana; I'm russian Shana we blow the shofar and move God from the seat of deen to the seat of rahmim.
