How Rosh Hashanah compares to the coronation of a monarch ... (The Commercial Appeal)

On Rosh Hashanah, we end our prayers with a prayer for the day when all of God's creations realize that He equally created us all and empowers us.

Wouldn’t we only want to look to him for guidance and place in him our hopes for the future? Wouldn’t we only want to assist him in his efforts to better our society and the world around us? These prayers laud God as both the first and last king, the king without term limits who cannot be subjected to a veto. Each year on Rosh Hashanah Jews spend much of their days in synagogue engaged in prayers focused on inducting God once more as king. In the 21st century the idea of a ruling monarchy in a democratic society is anathema. Yet, in contrast to current practice, Jews around the world again on Rosh Hashanah celebrated the coronation of God as king.
