1. Being Part of the Universe

   Let us begin by remembering that the spiritual always points toward the unity of things, not their division. Judaism tries to help us to work from a higher perspective. To celebrate the creation of the world, as we do on Rosh Hashanah, is to see ourselves as an integral part of all that is and not to see ourselves as the measure of all things. The egotistical, self-centered part of our mind, “the evil urge” if you will, always leads us to experience our separateness from the natural world.

2. For the Sake of the World: Toba Spitzer on peoplehood and mission

   Originally delivered at Congregation Dorshei Tzedek, Rosh Hashanah 5764

   Where do we first hear about Rosh Hashanah? In the Torah, in the book of Leviticus, we read:

   Adonai spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to the Israelites, saying: In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall be for you a day a rest, a memorial proclaimed with the blast of the shofar, a holy assembly. (23:23).
