Dear friends,
In less than two weeks most of us
will be
participating in the HIGH HOLY
DAYS SERVICES,
participating in their unique
liturgy. BUT WHAT
DOES IT ALL MEAN?
* What does it mean to say, in the
Un'taneh
Tokef poem, that "Teshuvah,
Tefillah and
Tzedakah will remove the
harshness/hardness
of the decree?"
* Is the High Holy Day liturgy
about humanity or
the Jewish people?
* Why is the theme of election of
Israel so
central to the liturgy, if the
focus is the
entire humanity?
* What is the symbolic
relationship between the
shofar and Kol Nidre? Is
Un'taneh Tokef also
tied in there?
* What exactly is being closed
during N'ilah?
How is it different than other
concluding
services?
* What is different between the
two new years:
Rosh Hashanah and Pesach?
* What are the highlights of the
Machzor that
drive home the High Holy Day's
universalism theme?
If these or other questions about
the meaning of
the High Holy Day liturgy are of
interest to
you, I have the pleasure and honor
to invite you
to join the two best experts on
the subject in a
