Ep. 5 l Understanding The Essence Of Life by Rav Yitzchak Berkovits.

In this powerful discussion, we explore the deeper meanings behind the customs of Rosh Hashanah, particularly the Simanim and the concept of Chaim (life). Drawing on sources from the Gemara, Chumash, and commentaries like Seforno, we delve into questions such as:
• What is the significance of eating symbolic foods like apple and honey on Rosh Hashanah?
• Why do we ask for both a "good" and "sweet" year, and how does that align with a life of growth and meaning?
• How does Yaakov Avinu’s response to Pharaoh teach us the difference between merely existing and truly living?
Join us as we examine the Torah's perspective on living a meaningful life and how our prayers on Rosh Hashanah set the tone for the year ahead.
