Listen "A Simcha & V’zot Ha-Bracha"
Episode Synopsis
The holidays that mark the beginning of the Jewish new year are a combination of joy and sadness all mixed together. It’s really kind of confusing the way the Torah readings don’t even begin with Rosh Hashanah, which would be the most logical thing to do. Beginnings and endings are never completely one thing or another. Just like the Jewish cycle, life blurs all the lines that we would like to have clearly marked, the way humans like things in general:neatly tied up in a box we can open, knowing exactly what we will find inside. But it’s just not that way. Listen as I talk about my new role as a rabbi, and other stories.
