Recap from last Tuesday night

Tuesday Night Re-Cap 9.9.2008

Hello again everyone! Jodi Barris, Intown Chabad regular here, reporting my weekly re-cap of Tuesday Night’s with Zvi.

I have a confession to make before I proceed. Due to my experience in public relations, I fully intended to b.s. my way through this article…until I realized that about 25 of the people who will likely read it were, in fact, in attendance on Tuesday night and saw firsthand that I walked in at 8:30…30 minutes late. So, instead of veiling the fact that I have no idea what went on in the first half of the discussion (which, by the way, I totally could have done, and done well ;) ) I decided to be straight with you and simply tell you what I know.

This week’s discussion was about the true meaning behind Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. When I arrived, Zvi was discussing that in our prayers over the high holidays we say, “Our Father, Our King.” Zvi discussed that “Our Father” and “Our King” are two vastly different things. A father is someone ever loving and forgiving, while a king is a dictator – someone who owns everything and has the ability to do whatever he likes, whenever he likes. Zvi explained that g-d is both of these things to us, and on the high holidays we must appeal to both. He said that g-d innately owns everything – both physically and spiritually. He owns our land, our health, possessions, everything, and Zvi explained that we know this because in an instant he can take them all away – nothing is truly ours.

Something else Zvi discussed is the meaning behind what we are truly “doing” over the high holidays. He explained that during Rosh Hashanah, we are establishing our relationship with g-d, on Yom Kippur we are taking stock of our relationship with g-d, and on Sukkot, we are celebrating our relationship with g-d.

Wishing all of you someplace warm and dry in this downpour,

La’ Chaim!
