Judaism teaches that one’s destiny for the year is determined on Rosh Hashanah, sealed on Yom Kippur and still open even more blessings till the eighth day of Hanukkah.
Sometimes people wonder whether their holy intentions, good deeds and prayers can change anything after that.
My thoughts are as follows. If a computer program can be rigged with a series of if/then statements then certainly the divine plan for our year can be similarly rigged in such a way. If humans can do it, then certainly God can too. Thus, I am hopeful that God’s annual plans for us are sufficiently flexible to respond positively to our changes in spiritual direction.
