Everyone Believes: Rosh Hashana and the Renewal of Faith
Dr. Samuel Lebens / September 16, 2016
Audio Source Sheets
In the prayers of the High Holy Days, we sing ‘Everyone Believes’ – a poem by Yannai from the Byzantine Era. In this lecture, we’ll explore the nature of faith, ask whether God has faith in us, and recast the holiday of Rosh Hashana in terms of a renewal of faith: Human and Divine.
