Why a Shofar (and Not a Violin?)

Exellent!!

heard of Rosh Hashanah for the first time 2 days ago .heard a Christian preacher say that God wanted everyone to turn and ensure the observance of these ten days toYom Kippur. that it was crucial. that got me searching to understand.

Insightful, i have a new respect for the Shofar now.

simply magnificent

This is the first time I have heard Rabbi Shlomo Yaffe teach. I was inspired! Thank G-d for Your teaching!

What I received was such a revelation of my faith. Thank you Rabbi Shlomo Yaffe for your passion, knowledge and the power to present Rosh Hashanah not just as the head of a new year, but the beginning of a new spiritual awakening if you really want it. L'shanah tova um'tukah, full of joy, fulfillment and peace.

Incredible speaker this Rabbi Shlomo Yaffe and that is the dotted line. i have been listening to just his audio classes for over two years now and they just get better every time. i have been taught when i was young not to cry, but now i really can cry to G-d. i think the reason that stained glasses work is broken is that, it cry's out to everyone in the Shul on the reflection of our lives. It shouldn't be wrong to brake down to cry out for G-d forgiveness and love. For this begins the healing process for all around better relationships and stronger service.

You are most defenitely one of the most passionate, purest, and simplest Rabbi I have heard in a long time. It's quite refreshing. Thank you for being so forthright, and to the point, and speaking straight into my soul. Shana Tova and you are inscribed in the Book of life for sure!
