Master & Servant: Worthy of Being Your Servants
“They have placed the corpse of Your servants as food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of Your devout ones to the beasts of the earth (Psalms 79:2).” The Jews who lived at the time of the destruction who were unworthy of the title “Your servants.” (Radak)
When we approach God on Rosh Hashanah as His servants, “If as servants…” we are saying that we are committed to acting in a manner worthy of the title, “Servants of God.”
