Rabbi Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha Nitzavim - Rosh Hashanah 5781

welcome to this week's torah lesson this week's torah portion is punishable the question of the week is how do we have the power to crown god as the king on rosh hashanah so in this week's torah portion partials until begins and it says you are all standing here today now we know the alter ever says you're standing here today what day is it and it's referring to the day of rosh hashanah and what does the verse say we're all standing all together what does that mean we're all together it means that we're all unified that means everyone has a individual identity but nevertheless we're all all unified and the alternative says when we are kulham when we're all unified we're able to put away all our differences that gives us the greatest power and if the verse continues and what does it mean doesn't mean just literally in front of hashem in front of god your god it means of the may not only do the internal part of god to god but you actually reach a place that's higher than hashem yudhke is the infinite part of hashem allah the more the finite part of hashem but by through unity when we are unified we put our differences aside we reach a level which is even higher than hashem al-qaeda and when we reach that level of because of the unity that's the greatest power that we have so the answer to the question how do we crown god and rosh hashanah and the answer is unity when we are unified with ourselves with our families and our communities that gives us the power to do anything and obviously including crowning god as the god on rosh hashanah this week's class is dedicated to the memory of barack and joseph and may their souls be elevated by torah was studying in their memory have a great and blessed week and a great year and a great rosh hashanah
