Title
Birthing the New Year 5781: Break. Breathe. Push. (Rosh Hashanah
Description
This strange phrase, harat Olam, is first uttered by Jeremiah when he saw his prophecies falling on deaf ears. In desperation, he curses the day he was born. He laments that God did not allow his mother’s womb to be his tomb, and he wishes that his mother had remained harat olam— eternally pregnant.
