Mindset for Rosh Hashanah - Rabbi Michael Hoenig

rosh hashanah is rapidly approaching what's the evolution of the day what should we be thinking about the torah in rosh hashanah describes the story of ghana khan was not blessed with any children and rosella salvajic elaborates on this story khan was married to elkanah one of the godolyador one of the leaders of the generation and certainly hannah and elkanah followed in the footsteps of yitzhak and rifki menu would go to one corner and pray to hashem elkano would go to another corner and pray to hashem and in unison they would pour out their hearts in sephila to be blessed with a child but that all changed on one day as the posix says by hyom on that day what was that day says the zohar that was rosh hashanah and elkanah says tahana these famous words llama typically why are you crying vallamalo toakley why are you not eating why is your heart broken hello anoki tovalakhmaya sarabanum am i not better to you than 10 children the rub explains what was elkanah saying to hannah it's over game over let's stop praying we tried and tried we failed there's nothing we could do except the gezera from hashem except this decree this is the reality nothing else we could do am i not better to you than 10 children except your lot nothing else to do move on and at that moment hannah realized something very crucial she was all alone in the world she was alone in her tears and her to fila she couldn't rely on anybody she couldn't rely on her husband the goddale adore she couldn't rely on the coin goggle nobody she came to the incredible recognition ano milvado there's none besides hashem hashem is the ultimate power hashem is the supreme power everything's dependent on the barriolum and she came to that haqqara says she was able to conceive on rosh hashanah when she came to that recognition of aino milvado there's none besides hashem this is the evolve of rosh hashanah to come to that hakara like kana aino milvado there's none besides hashem we have such chaotic lives so much going on frantic rat race we're here we're there so much we want to accomplish so many dreams and aspirations so many things we want to change manipulate we want to be creative we want to do this we want to do that we all have lists and every day the lists change and we make new lists rosh hashanah is the time to put on the brakes and say aino milvado i have all these dreams and aspirations everything i want to do but i need to realize everything's dependent on hashem shebashima we could really internalize the eternal message and shout it from the rooftops a known [Music]
