Rosh Hashanah is one of the most celebrated days in the Jewish year — but what is it really about? Is it the Day of Judgment? The birthday of the world? The creation of man? Or simply the mitzvah of blowing the shofar?

In this High Holidays Masterclass, we explore how all of these elements connect, revealing three dimensions of Rosh Hashanah:

Malchuyot — crowning God as King, the detailed judgment of the year.

Zichronot — God’s remembrance of creation and His infinite kindness.

Shofarot — the essence of the soul crying out, reaching God’s very essence.

Discover why the Torah only calls it Yom Teruah, why the shofar must be a simple ram’s horn, and how the essence of your soul is revealed on this day.

Takeaway: The shofar is not just a sound — it’s your essence calling out to God. And when your essence is revealed, God’s essence is drawn into the world, recreating it anew with blessing and life.
