Pardes from Jerusalem

Rosh Hashana: The Shofar, a Proclamation of Equality


Listen Later




The text of the Torah states that Rosh Hashana should be a day of blasting--yom teruah--however, the verses do not specify what type of instrument should be sounded to create the teruah sound. From where do the Rabbis learn that it is, in fact, a shofar that is blown as the central ritual of the day? What can we learn to enhance our understanding of Rosh Hashana from the comparison the Rabbis make between the holiday and the Jubilee year? What is the interplay between our relationship with God and our relationship with other people?  



This podcast episode is sponsored by Pardes alumna Judith Sherman Russell (Fall 2011) in honor of the Faculty of Pardes and all of the Torah learning they inspire.
Check out the latest online learning for the upcoming Holidays, including our Pardes Rosh Hashana Companion and a new podcast mini-series on Inspired Parenting. See https://elmad.pardes.org/rosh-hashana.
