“The great shofar is sounded… A still small voice is heard…
Even the angels are frightened… the Day of Judgment is here…
Who shall live? And who shall die?
Who shall find rest? And who shall be restless?
Who shall be raised up? And who shall be humbled?
Who shall be rich? And who shall be poor?
On Rosh Hashanah it is written … and on Yom Kippur it is sealed.”

— from Rosh Hashanah liturgy
