----------------------------------------
You may already be making plans for
attending the High Holiday services
at your synagogue. Remember last
year's? And the years before? The
half-day on Rosh Hashanah morning
with the special Amida... The sound
of the shofar... The solemnity of
the Netaneh Tokef chant by the
hazzan...
But what does it all mean?
WHY is the Rosh Hashanah AMIDA
so different, and in particular
on the idea of Redemption?
WHY are there THREE different
ways of blowing the SHOFAR and
what do does each one mean?
WHY is the medieval liturgical
poem NETANEH TOKEF so central
to the High Holiday service?
All you need participate

computer. Period. No travel,
