Rosh Hashana

For all of you out there its time for a post on Rosh Hashana.
Rosh means head.
Shana means year or time.
Notice that it doesn't say hischalas hashna. That would mean the start of the year.
It doesn't say hischadshos hashana that would mean new year.
So it is not a new year or a start of a year. What is it?
The gemara in eruvin says hakol holech basor reisha gufa azlrnun.
The head controls the body.
Rosh Hashana is a controler of this time cycle.
If we are blessed with a good head (good emotional and intelectual balance) then we can have a good life. If one's head is injured than one can not function.
The time of rosh hashana is critical for the rest of the time cycle for this time will regulate the fuctions of the rest of our year. We must not injure our spiritual head. We must take care of it in this sensitive time.
Then we can be at ease that the rest of the time cycle will have the momenteum to propell ourselves to further rectification of oursleves at all levels (emotional intellectual instinctual (habad, hagat, nahagi) nefesh reuach neshama chaya yichida and our friends at those levels as well.
