"The voice of the herald brings good tidings and proclaims:...'The means and time of Redemption have been appointed; can a land be born in one day?...When the resplendent G-d redeems His people, then the evening shall be light... Turn to Me and be saved even this very day, if you heed My voice...Arise those who are buried in the earth; awake and jubilate, those who dwell in the dust...'"
(From the prayers on Hoshana Rabba)
