[Music] in a few days is a very powerful day it's the first day of the month of elul the first day of elul means a lot of things but one thing that it means for sure is that's 30 days away from rosh hashanah the countdown hashanah the countdown begins rosh hashanah is a very powerful and important day on the jewish calendar but not only for jews for everybody the biblical name of rosh hashanah is yomadin judgement day because that's the day that the entire world is being judged and it's actually the day that is decided if the world will continue to exist or not on judgement day on rosh hashanah the entire world the entire world is being judged by the master of the universe and with our prayers we crown god to be our god which means that that day is important to any human being not only to jews and not only to observant jews this day is detrimental to any living creature in the world jews and non-jews and even the animals and nature vegetation everything is being judged vegetation everything is being judged that day that's why it's called judgment day so in the great mercy of the master of the universe he gave us an entire month to get ready if you would get now a subpoena or a judgment to appear in front of a judge for whatever charges that they decided to put on you then you would get ready you would get ready with a good defense defense
