"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 ([twitter.com profile] 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 ([twitter.com profile] 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.]

I'd be glad to work up an avatar for those wanting each of those, although I admit to knowing nothing of Hebrew writing beyond the fact of its existence. I have several fonts capable of working with both Latin and Hebrew.

And yes, "Shnat mahapach" seems most appropriate right now and for the near future.

Apropos of nothing, daughter turned on the TiVo after services and chose this episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood : http://www.neighborhoodarchive.com/mrn/episodes/1550/index.html

I remarked, "Daphne would love to meet the special guest!"
