A Poem for Rosh Hashanah
In the season of apples and honey’s bliss, When Rosh Hashanah arrives with its gentle kiss, Let us gather together, hearts open wide, As a new year dawns, let love be our guide.
We reflect on the year that has now passed, The memories cherished, the moments that last, With gratitude for blessings, big and small, We stand in awe of life’s intricate sprawl.
Like the shofar’s call, piercing and clear, Awakening our souls, dispelling any fear, Let us seek forgiveness, both given and received, And mend broken bonds, to be once again weaved.
With each taste of sweetness, a hope renewed, As apples dipped in honey symbolize gratitude, May our words be kind, our actions be just, As we embrace the values in which we trust.
In the brisk autumn air, a sense of change, A chance for growth, to rearrange, The seeds we sow in this sacred time, Can flourish and bloom, reaching heights sublime.
As pomegranate seeds burst with potential rare, May our dreams and aspirations fill the air, With determination, purpose, and resilience strong, We step into the future, where we truly belong.
On this Rosh Hashanah, let joy abound, In every laughter’s echo, in every heartfelt sound, May the year ahead be filled with peace, And may blessings upon us endlessly increase.
So, let us raise our voices in harmony and song, Celebrating the old, embracing the new, all along, As we gather together, united as one, May this Rosh Hashanah be truly well begun.

A Poem for Rosh Hashanah for a Soldier
In distant lands, where duty calls, A soldier stands tall, amidst it all, On Rosh Hashanah, a time of reflection, We honor your service with deep affection.
Far from home, you bravely fight, With courage and strength, in day and night, Through trials and challenges, you persist, Your sacrifice and dedication, we cannot resist.
On this sacred day, as the shofar resounds, May its sound echo where you are found, A reminder of hope, of a fresh start, To lift your spirits and soothe your heart.
In the face of uncertainty and strife, You carry the torch of freedom and life, Your commitment unwavering, your spirit unyielding, A beacon of courage, through battles concealing.
As we gather to pray and break bread, Thoughts of you, soldier, fill our heads, We send our wishes, our gratitude immense, For your strength, your sacrifice, your selfless defense.
May the prayers whispered on this holy day, Protect you, guide you, and light your way, May the blessings of peace surround your soul, And bring you comfort, no matter the toll.
Though distant from family, from all that you know, Please know in your heart, you’re not alone in woe, We stand united, as one, in thoughts and prayer, For your safety, your well-being, we deeply care.
So, soldier, we honor you on this Rosh Hashanah, With gratitude and love, no words can convey, May the year ahead bring you peace and tranquility, And may you return home, embraced with serenity.
