🚨Everyone Gets Rosh Hashanah WRONG | Rabbi Tovia Singer

Rabbi Tovia Singer explains one of the biggest mysteries of Rosh Hashanah: if this is the Day of Judgment, why are we commanded to celebrate? In Nehemiah chapter 8, the Jewish people hear the Torah on Rosh Hashanah and begin to cry. Instead of encouraging their fear, Nehemiah tells them to stop mourning, eat, drink and rejoice. Why? Rabbi Singer explains that Rosh Hashanah is not primarily about punishment or atonement. It is about coronating God as King, renewing our relationship with Him, and understanding why Yom Kippur comes only afterward. In this conversation: • Why Rosh Hashanah should seemingly be terrifying • Why the Torah nevertheless commands us to rejoice • The deeper meaning of Nehemiah chapter 8 • Why Rosh Hashanah comes before Yom Kippur • What it means to crown God as King • The connection between Rosh Hashanah, teshuvah and Sukkot • God’s desire for a direct relationship with every human being • Rabbi Singer’s message for Jews and non-Jews approaching the High Holidays If you have ever wondered what Rosh Hashanah is really about, this conversation may completely change the way you approach the day. @ToviaSinger1 #roshhashana #rabbi #israel
