As the High Holidays come into focus, we take a step back to reflect on prayer, community, and the meaning behind the words we say in shul. From the powerful sound of the shofar to the quiet struggles with Hebrew versus English prayer, we share honest conversations about connection, detachment, and what it really means to stand before G-d. Along the way, we discuss Tashlich by the lagoon, the challenge of keeping students engaged, the rise of alienation in modern life, and why screens can never replace genuine community. We even manage to wander into Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and the golden age of the Celtics. At its heart, this episode is about finding inspiration where you least expect it and remembering why the holidays matter.
