Description

The Why Series on Judaism explores the meaning, purpose, and depth behind Jewish practice, belief, and tradition. Each shiur takes a familiar idea, mitzvah, or minhag and asks not only what we do, but why it matters, uncovering the Torah values and deeper messages that bring Judaism to life. This is a source based compilation of "why" questions covering the Elul through Yom Kippur cycle, moving from Erev Rosh Chodesh fasting and shofar blowing in Elul, through Selichos customs, Rosh Hashana practices (simanim, 100 blasts, Tashlich), the Aseres Yemei Teshuva, and the Yom Kippur liturgy from Kol Nidrei to Neilah.
