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

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.
