R' Tatz Special Episode!
This episode is sponsored by Aaron Zelikovich in honor of rabbi Akiva Tatz.
Rabbi Akiva Tatz explains why Rosh Hashanah, though a day of judgment and yearly “recreation,” is not focused on teshuva; instead, it centers on declaring Hashem as King. Teshuva is saved for Yom Kippur, while Rosh Hashanah is about returning to the root and resetting life’s agenda—being needed to willingly acc...
Rabbi Zev - Teshuvah Roots Episode 3.
The shofar is a spiritual alarm clock, calling us to wake up, reflect, and do teshuva. The yetzer hara keeps us distracted so we don’t stop and think. The challenge is keeping that Rosh Hashanah inspiration alive all year. The mezuzah can serve as a daily reminder to reconnect with Hashem, while consistent Torah learning helps turn inspiration into lasting change.
Reb Arye - Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur Prayer Shiur 3
The three main sections of Rosh Hashanah Mussaf: Malchiyot — accepting Hashem as our King; Zichronot — asking Hashem to remember the merits of the Jewish people, especially the Akedah; and Shofrot — remembering the shofar of Har Sinai and looking forward to the shofar of Mashiach. He closes with a blessing for answered prayers and a Shana Tova.

Rabbi Kenny - Getting in the High Holiday Mindset Episode 2.
Rosh Hashanah is a powerful day that requires preparation. Rabbi Dessler teaches that Jewish holidays are not just reminders of the past—the spiritual energy of the original event returns each year.
On the first Rosh Hashanah, Hashem created man and blew a soul into him. When we blow the shofar, we ask Hashem to renew us and give us the opportunity to become better in...

Rabbi Ribner - Teshuvah from the Talmud Episode 2.
On Pesach, we remove chametz, symbolizing leaving behind the yetzer hara and a lower way of life. On Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, we are already living a life of Torah, but we need to clean and repair what has become stained through our mistakes.
This week is sponsored by Remy fields in honor of a Refuah shlema for Naomi Ruth.
Rabbi Blachman - Weekly torah Portion Episode 1.
Rabbi Blachman discusses Parashat Ki Tavo and its blessings and curses. He explains that serving Hashem isn’t just about doing the right things, but doing them with joy and a desire for closeness. He connects this to teshuva, showing how returning to Hashem out of love can transform our mistakes into opportunities for growth.
Rabbi Kenny - Getting in the High Holiday Mindset Episode 1.
Rabbi Kenny explains how to prepare for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur by focusing on Avinu Malkeinu. He shares the Talmudic story of Rabbi Akiva using this prayer during a drought and explains why we repeat the words so many times. The repetition helps us truly feel its message: Hashem is both our loving Father and our King, a mindset to carry throughout the year.

Reb Arye - Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur Prayer Shiur 1
The shofar helps us focus on Rosh Hashanah as the day we recognize Hashem as King and are judged for the coming year. He encourages us to pray not only for our physical needs, but also for spiritual growth and greater Torah understanding. Rav Saadia Gaon explains that the shofar also reminds us of teshuva, Matan Torah, the Akedah, the Beis Hamikdash, judgment, Mashiach, and tech...
Rabbi Lynn - Today in Jewish History Episode 1.
Elul is a special month of teshuva and closeness to Hashem, expressed by “Ani L’dodi V’dodi Li” — “I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine.”
