Kabbalah teaches that the purpose of Rosh
Hashanah is to receive all of the energy necessary to remove
the blockages we have created through our negative actions. The
month of Elul was a preparation through teshuvah (return/repentance)
and seeking to reverse the effects of those actions. The
connections (services) on Rosh Hashanah give us the opportunity
to restore ourselves and the world to the Tree of Life reality. The
Shofar is a tool which is used to dissolve all blockages of
negative energy we have created in the previous twelve months.
It is not possible to completely wipe out
all the negativity of the past year in one day. For that
reason, as the Kabbalists explain, we have Ten Days of Awe. The
first day begins with Rosh Hashanah and the final day ends
on Yom Kippur. The consciousness of Yom Kippur is from
the S'firah of Binah whose energy can be summed up as "love
your neighbor as yourself". The restrictions we
observe on this day, such as fasting, are simply tools to assist
us in our connection process.
On Yom Kippur, we have a special Yizkor (Remembrance)
Connection for those who have died. Click Here to go to our
Yizkor page, there you will be able to add people to the list.
Below is our schedule of services (connections) for the High Holy Days (Days
of Awe). There is no cost to attend any of our events via live broadcast.
However, we do invest much time and energy in preparing the machzorim (prayer
books) used during our broadcasts. If you are able, please help support us
either by making a Donation or
