"I think the future is unwritten, and anyone who tells you they know what's going to happen is wrong. We are in utterly uncharted territory." -- MSNBC commentator Chris Hayes (chrislhayes), 2020-09-18, on the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg (b. 1933-03-15, d. 2020-09-18)
And thoughts on the holiday from Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg (TheRaDR), 2020-09-13:
"Shana tova" doesn't feel like it fully captures everything it needs to this year.
Maybe...
"Shana svira"
Have a... manageable year..."Shnat mahapach"
A year of revolution!Or perhaps just
"B'hatzlacha."
Good luck.
[In light of what we need to accomplish, "Shnat mahapach" seems the most appropriate of these, to me. Nonetheless, I wish my friends the sweetest year possible.]
