Psalm 27: Infinite Manna
King David
Rabbi Elazar taught: The righteous in the World to Come will eat of the same Manna that Israel ate while in the desert. Do not think that the portions will be measured as they were in the desert. Each portion will taste of eternity and Infinity. This is what David described when he said, “To behold the sweetness of God and to contemplate in His Sanctuary.” (Zohar, Beshalach 63a-b)
David may be asking for ‘one thing’, but that one thing is Infinite and Eternal. Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur are our opportunity to ask for the same perfect food; sustenance of a life that always feels eternal and infinite.

Rosh HaShannah is the day Man was created. It is also the day the Snake corrupted everything.
The characteristic of the Snake, which is also his punishment, is he eats dust. One explanation of this punishment is that he never has to connect to G-d=his food is already provided. R’Shlomo gave another explanation that even should he ingest the most exquisite food-it still tastes like dust.He has nothing to look forward to –> his entire existence if DUST.
On Rosh HaShannah, G-d gives us a double gift in allowing us to reverse the ‘Snake Effect’.First, we have the power and opportunity to connect to G-d in anticipation of the coming year’s provenance.Secondly, we are empowered to turn Dust into the most exquisite piece of Eternity,connecting to the Infinite.
The Holy Zohar explains that our human Shofar blasts ascend to the Heavens and connect to the Heavenly Shofar-the Kol Gadol v’lo yosof- the blast that never ends, proclaiming G-d’s dominion over all.
And we are privileged to be G-d’s subjects.
