Rosh Hashanah 2007

By Joe Katzman on September 13, 2007 8:55 AM

"I lived in New York City for a decade and a half. We had a saying … NYC is a prison where the inmates are the guards. It was some time after leaving the City that I came to understand how powerful that insight was."
  -- Dr. Earl R. Smith II, "The Boundaries of Your Life Are..."

"If you damage the jail, you harm the captive. If you remove the prisoner, you bring the guard along too. If you touch the captor, you imperil the victim."
  -- Idries Shah, see Winds "Sufi Wisdom" entry

When you understand those 2 quotes, you'll understand the Jewish Rosh Hashanah holiday.
