One Hundred Voices: The Hidden Architecture of the Shofar

SEP 10, 202610 MIN

Description

Some years the shofar is not blown at all, and this is one of them. The first day of Rosh Hashanah falls on Shabbat. Rav Yaakov Shepherd and Eric work through four questions that open out of that silence. Why the Sages set aside a mitzvah of the Torah itself. Why Rosh Hashanah is two days in Israel too, when the reason for two days never applied there. Where the number one hundred comes from, and the ten that live inside it. And what the shofar of the Jubilee has to do with the one you will hear this year. Recorded in Jerusalem, at the Yeshiva of the Mekubalim, Nefesh HaChaim, at King David's Tomb. Until Hoshana Rabbah, your name is said in prayer at King David's Tomb, at the Kotel, at Meron, at Amuka and in Uman, through the ten days. https://www.jgive.com/new/en/ils/donation-targets/176166
