Course Description

We will aim to enrich the Yamim Noraim experience by studying the development of select t'fillot. We will study relevant Mishnayot in Rosh Hashana and Yoma and then trace how our Machzor evolved based on the Mishnaic formula for the t'fillot.

From the Mishna to the Machzor

In our last class, we discussed how the Mishna elaborates on the Torah's extremely terse description of Rosh Hashana. We will now study the debates in the Mishna and Gemara about the precise nature of the T'filla (and of the day).

The Torah provides us with very little information about Rosh Hashana. Yet the Mishna contains a fairly detailed description of the T'fillot and Shofar blowing ceremonies. We will, with the help of select sugyot in the gemara, trace how the Mishna derives all of this information. Through the sources we will seek to appreciate the symbolic underpinnings of the day.
