ROSH HASHANA 101 | RABBI MOSHE NADTICH | ANOTHER JEWISH PODCAST EP. 18

Rabbi Moshe Nadtich gives a grounded and soulful guide to Rosh Hashana: what the day actually means, how to prepare for it, and how to tap into it without getting overwhelmed or stuck in your head. We talk about judgment, prayer, shofar, apples and honey, trusting God for a good year, and why emotional health may be the first step to real spiritual connection. This conversation is less about pressure and more about learning how to show up honestly, feed your soul, and enter the new year with clarity, hope, and intention.
