In the Malkhuyot section of the Mussaf Amidah for Rosh HaShanah, the root of the word "melekh," or king, is featured twenty-six times...
ומפני מה אמרה תורה נסכו מים בחג אמר הקדוש ברוך הוא נסכו לפני מים בחג כדי שיתברכו לכם גשמי שנה ואמרו לפני בראש השנה מלכיות זכרונות ושופרות מלכיות כדי שתמליכוני עליכם זכרונות כדי שיעלה זכרוניכם לפני לטובה ובמה בשופר
And recite before Me on Rosh HaShana verses that mention Kingships, Remembrances, and Shofarot: Kingships so that you will crown Me as King over you; Remembrances so that your remembrance will rise before Me for good; and with what will the remembrance rise? It will rise with the shofar.
Reflecting:
MALCHUYOT - by Rabbi Rachel Barenblat, https://velveteenrabbi.blogs.com/blog/2015/06/new-poems-for-the-shofar-service.html What does it mean to proclaim Your sovereignty when we don't understand kings? Before the Big Bang, there was You. In the old year we allowed habits to rule us. Help us throw off that yoke so our best selves may serve You. Help us surrender. The cosmos is not under our control. Help us fall to our knees and find home in Your embrace. Let Your power increase in the world. Help us be unashamed of yearning. Strengthen our awe and our love so our prayers will soar.
