Just to make things different lately, uh-huh, these days have been a bit itchy, reflective, analytic, future planning... and it's Rosh Hashana eve tonight !!!, which according to Talmud, the world was born on Tishrei. In Rosh Hashana, during the Liturgy Hayom Harat Olam is said - "Today is when the world is born". Not regarding the first day of Creation, but the sixth day - creation of man, for whom Universe was created. I believe G'd didn't only created it but He stills have an active role in its development.
Something beautiful that i like in particular a lot is the U’netanu tokef:
On Rosh Hashana it is written, and on Yom Kippur it is sealed - how many will pass from the earth and how many will be created; who will live and who will die; who will die at his predestined time and who before his time; who by water and who by fire, who by sword, who by beast, who by famine who by plague, who by strangulation and who by stoning. Who will rest and who will wander, who will live in harmony and who will be harried, who will enjoy tranquility and who will suffer, who will be impoverished and who will be enriched, who will be degraded and who will be exalted.
En Rosh Hashaná se escribe, y en Yom Kippur se pacta – cuántos pasarán de la tierra y cuantos serán creados; quién vivirá y quién morirá; quién morirá en su momento predestinado y quien lo hará antes de ello; quien por agua y quien por fuego, quien por arma y quien por animal, quien por hambre y quién por plaga, quien por estrangulación y quien lapidado. Quien descansará y quien andará errante, quien vivirá en armonía y quien en agonía, quien disfrutará de la tranquilidad y quien sufrirá, quien será empobrecido y quién enriquecido, quien será degradado y quien será exaltado”
Indeed, for you reader, i wish you a k'tiva v'chatima tova – inscription and seal in the Book of Life – and a shana tova u'metuka– a good and sweet year for both.

לֹא בַשָּׁמַיִם הִוא לֵאמֹר מִי יַעֲלֶה-לָּנוּ הַשָּׁמַיְמָה וְיִקָּחֶהָ לָּנוּ
וְיַשְׁמִעֵנוּ אֹתָהּ וְנַעֲשֶׂנָּה׃ וְלֹא-מֵעֵבֶר לַיָם הִוא לֵאמֹר מִי יַעֲבָר
-לָנוּ אֶל-עֵבֶר הַיָם וְיִקָּחֶהָ לָּנוּ וְיַשְׁמִעֵנוּ אֹתָהּ וְנַעֲשֶׂנָּה׃ כִּי-קָרוֹב
אֵלֶיךָ הַדָּבָר מְאֹד בְּפִיךָ וּבִלְבָבְךָ לַעֲשֹׂתוֹ׃
In this week's Parasha, there's a beautiful passage… Devarim 30: 12-14 [my own translation] “It is not in the heavens, to say, ‘Who will go up for us to the heavens and take it for us and we will listen and do it.’ And it is not across the ocean, to say, ‘Who will cross over for us to the other side of the ocean and take it for us and we will listen and do it.’ Rather it is very close to you, this thing, in your mouth and in your heart, to do it.”
May the year with its curses be finished, may the New Year with its blessings begin.
Que el año con sus maldiciones termine, y que el Año Nuevo con sus bendiciones comience.
SHAVUA TOVA U'METUKA !!!
