5781 — Rosh Hashana: A Very Narrow Bridge: Getting to the Other Side

Posted by David Levin-Kruss on September 13, 2020
Topics: Holidays, Pardes from Jerusalem, Rosh Hashana, Torah

This Rosh Hashanah podcast is sponsored by Ricki and David Bernstein in memory of Ricki’s parents, Beatrice and Murray Kirschblat, each a sole survivor of large families which perished in the Shoah.

This podcast compares the popular song “Kol Ha’olam Kulo” with the “real” words and shows us the difference between fearing and being a fearful person. Using an interpretation of two words in the Unetaneh Tokef prayer it then goes on to show us how we can be resilient while also in touch with our emotions.
