A 2 Minute Rosh Hashanah Message

Shalom this is a fryan buck W preparing for rashash Shana and rashash Shana is going to be in a little over a week oh my God we have to ask ourselves why does rashishana matter what's so important about rashishana well you know the story of Adam in the Garden of Eden Adam is hiding from God he's naked he's eaten from the forbidden fruit and God calls out from Heaven he says Adam aeka where are you of course the omnicient God knows where Adam is he's in the Garden of Eden and he knows exactly the spot where Adam is he's asking Adam Adam where are you where are you existentially where are you spiritually what have you done with your life and where are you going and that's what God asks us each and every day but significantly on rashishana we need to ask ourselves evaluate ourselves in Judaism we have a concept known ases an accounting of our souls we need to take an account and evaluation of our souls so that we know we're in the right direction we're on the right path that we're doing the the right thing morally ethically in our Behavior with ourselves and with other human beings that's what it's all about you've heard of the story of the young man who wakes up one morning and he says God so far I've been okay today I haven't spoken evil haven't hurt anyone's feelings haven't done anything wrong but soon I'm going to have to get out of bed and face the real world rashasana is the instrument that helps us face the real world when we make our own internal accounting of our Deeds then we know that we're on the right path that we're on the right track that we're going to use every ounce of our strength and our moral conviction to do the right thing for ourselves and for humankind so I wish you all a very very happy sweet and healthy New Year Sha
