Mussef Is The Spiritual Center
- Mussef is the core of Rosh Hashanah tefillah, built from Malchios, Zichronos, and Shofros.
- Each section contains ten psukim and culminates in the shofar to express its theme.
Ten Psukim Reflect Ten Praises
- We recite ten psukim for Malchios because tradition links ten praises of Hashem to David HaMelech.
- Those ten angles invite us to perceive distinct facets of God's kingship in the world.
Kingship Blends Praise And Judgment
- Malchus combines praise with judgment because being king implies both authority and relationship.
- Rosh Hashanah frames Hashem's rule as personal and evaluative, not only legalistic adjudication.
