Scope and Content

Rabbi Ingber opens the Rosh Hashana sermon by speaking on how important language is to Judaism. He then dives into the etymology and meaning behind the word Rosh Hashana and the Hebrew phrases that make up the Torah portion, focusing on the idea that everyone is “standing” and also the word “truth.” Moses is standing before the people telling them the truth. Moses tells them to make sure they are “standing” where they are and are resilient. Rabbi Ingber says that everyone needs resilience and to be strong against their insecurities.
