Rosh Hashana: Why Don’t We Recite Hallel?

Posted by Daniel Landes on September 6, 2015
Topics: Pardes from Jerusalem, Rosh Hashana

In this week’s Podcast, Rabbi Daniel Landes discusses Rosh Hashana and Hallel. As we greet a year with great trails and challenges, we ask the following question. Rosh Hashana is a festival and therefore should be joyous. Why then don’t we recite the joyous Hallel?
