THE OPENING OF THE GATES OF HEAVEN

In Jewish tradition, the Gates of Heaven are opened on Rosh HaShanah / Yom Teruah.

Personally, the God of Israel opens the Gates of Heaven on Rosh HaShanah to receive the prayers of those who do Teshuvah (repentance) during the season of Teshuvah. Therefore, the Gates of Heaven are opened on Rosh HaShanah to receive the prayers of the righteous.
