Halachot of Rosh Hashana (Yom Tov)

The alot of um are relatively simple. Uh is like Shabbat. So you're not allowed to drive on. You're not allowed to use your uh phones on not even for ku purposes. Uh you're allowed to cook fire to fire. But in in Florida, there's no gas here. So uh fire at the fire is pretty much in you know completely nonrelevant here. Uh so you have to pretty much cook everything before the and uh put it on the hot plate during the um if you live somewhere else like in New York and other places that have gas then you can use fire to fire to light the gas. But your local rabbi I'm sure is going to go over this stuff with you. Um, you have to go to BCet if you're a guy to pray with the minyan, but also most important to listen to the sha is a so even if you hate the besset then suck it up and go to the besset. Uh, but if it's a that everybody's talking and socializing and you can't even hear anything, then uh you don't have to go. You don't have to go. But if people are relatively decent and they have some respect for the Torah where they listen to Amida and so on, at least during that time they're quiet, then go. Also, for the people that speak uh do not speak Hebrew, uh know how to read Hebrew or know how to make the sounds in Hebrew, but they don't know what it actually means because there is a special significance to the words that Khazal used uh to put Amida, the prayer of Amida together. It's better if you read Amida only in Hebrew. The rest of the prayers you could read in English. Most of it is tim and so on. But Amida specifically, it's better that you read it in Hebrew. Even if you don't know what the words mean because what you're going to do is over these next couple of days, you're going to look at the in the of in English, learn what it says. So when you read it in Hebrew, you still have an understanding of what's going on. You still have an understanding. The rest of the prayer you read in English. Uh it's good that you understand what you're saying. But that specific prayer, you should try to do it in Hebrew, meaning that you should uh uh if you know. If you don't know, you don't know. If you don't know Hebrew at all, you don't know how to pronounce it, then your anus. No, it's no problem. Uh but if you do know, at least to make the sounds, then make the sounds. But again, learn the prayer. Uh on the eve of Shah, make sure to have a festive meal. All of the whether it's the the pomegranate or the different fruits that are used, there's no specific obligation to use any one over the other. They're all customs. So if you don't have one, don't lose your mind. Don't get angry. Don't be upset. It's okay. They're all just customs. They're all customs. Women, when you light the candle for ytov, don't say the blessing of wait for your husband to come home when you do the kush and he'll say sheanu for the whole family. The second day of shah, you cannot say on the kouch. So you it's good to get a fruit that you haven't in in the last year a new fruit and sayhanu on the fruit because you're not allowed to say on the second day because it's not really new you it's already the second day of is the only holiday that is celebrated two days everywhere including is uh that's the other thing uh the food that your wife makes or that you make if it's good or not is not going to change your dean in shm but if you get angry during the meal that's going to change your dean meaning even if the food tastes like it belongs to animals don't get angry why because it's not going to change your judgment in shine but if you get angry at your wife or you insult whoever cooked the food that's going to change your dean that's going to change your dean it's a very very bad thing to get angry so whatever happens remember is going to try to make you angry. Why? Because if you get angry on pretty much you ruin your whole year. So don't get angry on at all. Um make sure to spend as much time as you can in the basset learning uh enjoying the um and that's it. It's a it's a fantastic hug. It's a fantastic opportunity to enjoy with the family. Our next sh is going to be next Wednesday. Next Wednesday is the next shem. And pretty much for the next month, the shu is pretty much gonna be probably once a week. It's either going to be a Wednesday or a Sunday whenever there's no holidays. Uh for for a couple of reasons. One is because we have the holidays. Uh but also two, it's a time to for me to to take a little bit of more time to re-energize. Uh but we're still going to try our best to to have at least one sh per week. Obviously, if you have any crisis, first call 911. When they tell you that they can't help you, then you can text me. All of us will have a hopefully will take each word that I said and uh remember at least part of it to do some before and uh arrive at prepared to change. Prepared to change. You're prepared to change. will also change the decree that we really deserve into what we want which is only good and we'll get blessings.
