One of the highlights of the prayers of the holy days of Rosh Hashanah is undoubtedly the prayer of "Unetaneh Tokef"

We will ascribe strength to the kedushah (holiness) of the day, for it is awe-inspiring and fearsome and on it Your sovereignty will be exalted, and Your throne will be established in kindness and You will sit upon it in truth Truth that You are the judge and the one who proves and knows and witnesses and You write and seal, count and calculate and You remember all forgotten things and open the book of memories and it will be read from itself, and the signature of every person is in it And with a great shofar it will be sounded, and a thin, silent voice will be heard and angels will hasten, and trembling and fear will seize them and they will say, "Behold, the Day of Judgment is to visit the heavenly host in judgment" For they will not be justified in Your eyes in judgment and all who come into the world will pass before You like sheep as a shepherd inspects his flock, passing his sheep under his staff so You will pass, count, and number, and remember every living soul and You will decree a limit for every creature and write their sentence On Rosh Hashanah it is written, and on the fast of Yom Kippur it is sealed how many will pass and how many will be created who will live and who will die who in their time and who not in their time who by water and who by fire who by sword and who by beast who by hunger and who by thirst who by earthquake and who by plague who by strangulation and who by stoning who will rest and who will wander who will be at peace and who will be tormented who will be impoverished and who will be enriched who will be humbled and who will be exalted But teshuvah (repentance) and prayer and charity remove the evil of the decree For as Your name, so is Your praise, slow to anger and easy to appease for You do not desire the death of the dead, but that they return from their way and live and until the day of their death You wait for them; if they return, You immediately accept them Truth that You are their creator and know their inclination for they are flesh and blood man, whose foundation is dust and whose end is dust with his soul he brings his bread, likened to a broken shard like dry grass and a withered flower, like a passing shadow and a vanishing cloud and like a wind that blows and like dust that scatters, and like a dream that flies away But You are the King, the living and eternal God There is no limit to Your years and no end to the length of Your days and it is impossible to estimate the chariots of Your glory, and it is impossible to explain the mystery of Your name Your name is fitting for You, and You are fitting for Your name and You have called our name by Your name Do for the sake of Your name and sanctify Your name upon those who sanctify Your name for the sake of the honor of Your revered and sanctified name as the secret conversation of the holy seraphim who sanctify Your name in holiness those who dwell above with those who dwell below call and triple in the tripling of kedushah (holiness) in holiness
