Welcoming the New Year with Rabbi Akiva Tatz is already something to celebrate on this episode of “613 Books” Podcast. Producer and Host Heather Dean explores with Rabbi Tatz a variety of concepts about Rosh Hashanah based on his new sefer, “Shabbat and the Festivals,” and his classic “Living Inspired.”
What should we focus on during Rosh Hashanah services and in general throughout this two-day festival? How do we actually celebrate this Day of Judgement knowing that everything for the upcoming year of our lives will be decided over Rosh Hashanah?
Rabbi Tatz addresses our struggles as well as the joy of Rosh Hashanah.
PLUS: Journalist and art instructor Liane Wakabayashi tells us about the fascinating new book on her reading table!
