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 during the last year. The month of Elul was a preparation through teshuvah (return/repentance) and seeking to reverse the effects of those actions. The 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 Sefirah 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.
The first two days of Rosh Hashanah and the day of Yom Kippur are Festival Days and labor is not permitted on those days. However, the days in between, with the exception of Shabbat of course, one may work but should keep in mind that we are still in the days known as "The Days of Awe."
With your tzedakah (donation) we can continue to provide meaningful services, studies, and share our Kabbalah4All Siddur with everyone. We thank you in advance for your generosity and support.

Kabbalah4All Congregation was established to connect people who wish to be part of a Jewish community which focuses on Kabbalah (Mystical Judaism). Through our online Sephardic synagogue, we maintain the continuity of the Jewish people, as well as help strengthen Judaism and the study of Kabbalah; to put into practice its way of life; to teach its language, literature and spiritual traditions; to empower others through services and studies to effect change in their part of the world--the idea of Tikkun Olam.
Kabbalah4All strives to be a spiritual community that celebrates diversity and honors the individuality of each unique person.
We offer live streaming Shabbat and Holiday services via YouTube. Kabbalah4All makes it possible for many people around the world to have an online congregation they can call home; A Place of Prayer For All People.
