This holiday, known as Tosh-ha
shonah. is, according to tradition, the
time when the souls OF men are laid
before the Lord. The great books lie
open and each ones destiny is set
down, the award in each case being
sealed By the person. This conception
hes resulted in the greeting "May you
be inscribed for a good year" with
which all Jews address each other
upon leaving the synagogue.
