Rosh Hashanah, Chana's prayer, Haftorah ראש השנה Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz, 5786 לקו״ש חי״ט

Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz explores the moving Haftorah of Rosh Hashanah through Chana’s prayer—one of the deepest lessons on Jewish prayer, hope, pain, and change. Why do we read Chana’s story at the start of a new year? What does her quiet, honest prayer teach us about standing before Hashem when we need help most? In this powerful Torah study, Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz explains how Chana turned deep hurt into a clear prayer. Her words were not empty. They came from the heart. They show us that no one is too broken, too unsure, or too far away to speak to G-d. Rosh Hashanah is not only about judgment. It is a time to wake up, return, and ask: What do I truly want my life to become? This Rosh Hashanah Haftorah lesson, ראש השנה and חנה’s prayer, brings the wisdom of Likutei Sichos, לקו״ש חי״ט, into daily life. Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz makes this teaching clear for beginners and meaningful for long-time Torah learners. You will see how a Jewish prayer can change the person who says it—and open a new path for the year ahead. Do not skip this lesson if you want a deeper Rosh Hashanah. Chana’s prayer may change how you read the machzor, say Tehillim, and approach your own private talk with Hash
