Rosh Hashana Is Not What You Think

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Mendel Kessin’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

okay I thought I would speak about because Russian is in a couple of weeks right our son is only three four weeks like Gillette so I thought I would just talk about some of the very important ideas about Rosh Hashanah I thought that would be very good and so on you know our Hashanah III like the title this year Rosh Hashanah is not what you think most people do not know what Rosh Hashanah is interesting and if you ask Molly well interesting and if you ask Molly well what is Russian about they will tell you it is a time of judgment you see and is that true it's true that's not really what the essential message or the essential feature of Russian is you see and because of that a person has to know what is being judged why so therefore when you try to pray intercede in the judgment process you have to know exactly what to say what your line of argument is very important your line of argument is very important okay and so forth now the reason why Russian is really problematic in terms of a day of judgment okay how could there be a judgement day once a year could you imagine if the courts were only opened one day in New York City one day out of the year what would happen you'd have a repeat of Charlottesville there would be a pandemonium so how can you have one day a year to be a Judgment
