As we enter the two days of Rosh Hashanah, the head and mind of the entire year, Rabbi Amichai Cohen opens the inner work of these days: how to stand in awe (yirah) while holding a deep, internal joy (gila).


In this episode:

- Why Rosh Hashanah is called the mind and brain of the year, and the elevated consciousness it asks of us

- "Ivdu et Hashem b'yirah, v'gilu bir'adah" - serving God with awe, and rejoicing with trembling

- The letters of Tishrei and the movement from below to above

- Gila versus simcha: the inner joy of Rosh Hashanah and the external joy of Sukkot

- Mima'amakim, calling God from the depths, and the Zohar's ten levels of depth

- The gevurah of Yitzchak, omek and gevurah, and how strength itself is joined to joy


Shana Tova U'Metuka - wishing you a great, incredible new year, sweetness and joy in all aspects.
