After 40 years of miracles the Jews knew without a doubt who ran the world. But Moshe told them just as they were about to enter the Land of Israel that they were blind, deaf, and without understanding. Rav Berkovits explains that it is easy to see, hear, and understand God while He is spoonfeeding us miracles, but the real challenge is to see God in our day-to-day lives, which is the central focus of preparation for Rosh Hashanah.
Oftentimes our plans for greatness seem to boomerang. What is G-d telling us when our growth seems to backfire? Rav Berkovits teaches us how to deal with the mundane, as well as giving straightforward guidance on how to chart a map for acheiving a turnaround in areas we often stumble in.

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.
Why was man created and what is man's job in this world? What follows is how do we find a sense of happiness and pleasure in life? Rebbetzin Kalmanovitz answers these questions and touches along the way other essential topics such as the Yetzer Hara, Ahavas Hashem and Teshuvah.

If repentance is the way to earn a fresh start, why on Rosh Hashanah, which avoids two of the three aspects of the teshuvah process, are we confident that we can attain a total self-renewal? On the first day of every New Year God recreates the universe anew. We are given a similar power to create a new slate for ourselves as well.
It’s that time of year again when we take stock not only of the year that passed, but of life itself. Rabbi Zev Leff examines what LIFE consists of on its varied levels, and the significance of every action we perform.

Mastering the major and minor transitions in our life is a goal worth pursuing. Rabbi Orlowek describes one such important transition we make every year on leaving the month of Av into the month Elul, and how to move from our past and present into the future more naturally.
In this class, Rabbi Orlowek describes himself as a messenger boy bringing pearls of wisdom from both the exalted rabbis of the past and the great rabbis in the present. Within a structure of motivation, implementation and measuring goals, he shares inspiration, stories and practical advice for accepting more responsibility to change something this Rosh Hashanah.
How is it possible to fear Hashem and at the same time feel His chesed, love and compassion? Rabbi Orlowek unravels how this contrary dynamic works by comparing it to the parent-child relationship. Uniting these two seemingly opposite emotions is a time honored formula for making God our King on Rosh Hashanah.
If you've decided you need to change, the very first step is to know in which area, where to start and to what degree. With his uncanny understanding of human nature, Rabbi Orlowek paves the way for getting your direction clear - and to stay on track. Hear the vital first steps you need for regaining your confidence and your ability to change.

Our Sages say "Search for Hashem When He is to be Found". But isn't God always findable when we look? In this thought-provoking talk on prayer and teshuvah, Rav Stern explains how to take a sharp look at your daily actions, and how to project their consequences on to the year ahead.
In this interesting talk, Rabbi Moshe Aaron Stern delves into the puzzling story of Yonah the prophet, and Nineveh, the non-Jewish city to which he was sent to demand their repentance. 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.
Of the Jewish year, the month of Elul stands as our major opportunity for change. Rabbi Tauber explains the process of clearing away the suffering of the past year, in order to be worthy to cry for a pure future, a future replete with love that signals a closeness with Hashem.

If each of us is a product of the Creator, how is it possible for a created being to be a creator in turn to set its own destiny? Come explore this interesting anomaly with Rabbi Tauber as he explains how the process works to recreate yourself on Rosh Hashanah.
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? In a class leading up to Elul, Rabbi Wein applies this original metaphor to our own lives and to the Jewish people's need for ongoing relevance and meaning.
Every generation contends with its own challenges and must find its own solutions. But for Elul and Tishrei there is a one-size-fits-all solution: Teshuva. 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.
With the Day of Judgment around the corner, Rebbetzin Denah Weinberg encourages us to look at where we’ve been, where we are now and where we want to go. Hear also how happiness fits into our day-to-day lives to maximize our ongoing growth and self-fulfillment.

What is the unbelievable power of the shofar blast that makes it a central component of Rosh Hashanah? Follow Rabbi Wagensberg’s colorful trail as he explores how the shofar can break down so many walls that separate us from Hashem. By erecting a few barriers to evil by way of our thoughts, feelings and actions, we may find ourselves able to touch our deeper selves.
One's negative thoughts, speech, and actions have the unwanted result of adding layer upon layer of tumah upon our souls. By letting Yom Kippur help us activate the holy spark that fuels our neshama, we can loosen the sludge that has encrusted our heart. Rabbi Wagensberg helps us to reach back to that pristine state of purity we experienced as children in order to trigger the inner glow and vitality we all yearn for.

Yom Kippur is the quintessential day of repentance. The embarrassment that necessarily results in doing teshuvah clearly shows how incongruous our negative actions in light of our innate greatness. The focused time we spend in repentance is a vital element for connecting to God.

The structure of the 13 midos of Rachamim is truly a wonder. However, it is not a carte blanch system of unconditional mercy that side steps judgement. It is more along the lines of an emergency application for times when the world should have been destroyed. Rabbi Noson Weisz explores the Derech Hashem's perception of how this system works.
The Rambam seems to say that one who worships God from fear or from the desire to gain reward is not only mistaken, but may indeed be outright selfish. There are, however, contrary statements in the Torah that say otherwise. Rabbi Weinberg explores these opposing views to help us refine our Avodas Hashem.
