The Significance, Power, and Guidelines of the Simanim of Rosh Hashanah {Shoneh Halachos Siman 583}

What’s said in this shiur

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

our great grandfather passed away in the Spanish flu in 1917. And she told my grandfather always to learn Mishnayos and once my grandfather was deathly ill and she was mispallel over him and her hot tears fell on him and it brought refuah. Anyway, we're going to today begin by learning Hilchos Yom Kippur Shlishi Yom Kodem HaChag. You know, there's a remez that the Rishonim mentioned "Aryeh sha'ag mi lo yira?" When the lion roars, who is not afraid? So, Aryeh stands for Elul, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Hoshana Rabbah. The question though is why is Elul included in this mnemonic? "Aryeh sha'ag mi lo yira?" Why? Elul is not a day of judgment. Elul is the time of rachamim, ratzon when Moshe Rabbeinu went up to Har Sinai the third time. Why is Elul included in the Yamim Noraim that "mi lo yira" that we should be fearful? The Chasam Sofer writes in the Likutei Yekar something happens Rosh Chodesh Elul. There's a process of din that begins on Rosh Chodesh Elul. And that is since zman Beis Din shloshim yom The zman of Beis Din is 30 days, so before Beis Din convenes, they send out the summons 30 days before. Now the last thing anybody wants to get in the mail is something from the government. The telephone company, the electric company, the gas, the DMV, I call Shara Vakayam. The last thing you want to see is something from the government. Especially if it says Supreme Court. Actually, there's a judge here in the neighborhood who came to the Shira. He once sent me something, you know, preemptive, but it was addressed from the Supreme Court of the United States of America. I like you know?
