Is there a time when the holiday of Rosh Hashanah ends and Yom Kippur begins? Why do the Ten Days of Repentance take place in the gap between the solar and lunar cycles? What symbolism do the sun and moon have and how do they interact with one another? Rabbi Kahn describes the mystical moments of twilight that harken us back to the point of creation - giving us regenerative powers despite rules of nature to the contrary.

Yonah was in fact the only prophet ever who was sent to implore non-Jews to repent. How come? The Rabbi's inspired answer to the question can change the way you prepare for this year's Yom Kippur experience.
Life is like a thoroughfare with countless bumps and detours that constantly throw us off course. Shouldn't our goal be to pull ourselves back on track?

Rabbi Wein examines this tool against the backdrop of current events and Jewish history, and shows how the universal tools of teshuva, tefilla, and tzedaka can transform you forever.
