In this recorded class, R' Daniel Raphael Silverstein explores how Rosh Hashanah is viewed by our mystics, and how they frame our spiritual work in this season of return and renewal.

​

Topics explored include:

• The origins of Rosh Hashanah in the Torah and its observance in biblical times;

• Its place in both our agricultural and mystical calendars;

• Its relationship with Teshuvah (returning to the Divine and our best selves), creativity, and compassion;

• Its apparently paradoxical association with both joy and judgement; and

• Specific practices our mystics gave us to prepare for, and to experience, a meaningful, transformative, renewing, heart-opening Rosh Hashanah.
