Episode 44: Rethinking Rosh HaShanah
We help Christians make sense of their roots so they can help the Jewish people make sense of Jesus.
On this episode of The Jewish Road Podcast:
Rosh Hashanah - Feast of Trumpets - Yom Teruah - Zikaron Teruah - the Jewish New Year. That's right, so many different names describing one holiday.
It is one of the biggest holidays on the Jewish calendar and is the start of the High Holy Days season. Synagogues are packed with Jewish people today, gathered to hear the blowing of the shofar and beginning 10 Days of Awe and repentance, hoping they will be inscribed in the Book of Life for one more year.
Yet, not one thing of all of that is found in Scripture. It is strictly tradition.
Maybe it's time we take a deeper look and rethink Rosh Hashanah.
