59 - Happy New Year, Again
Channel: Halting Toward Zion
Date: 2021-02-15

Last week we talked about the Hebrew liturgical calendar, and how the New Year celebration of Rosh Hashana came to be celebrated in the seventh month rather than, as one might have thought, at the beginning of the first month. Today we're talking some more about the message of Rosh Hashana--why celebrate a New Year's Day at all?

This Episode Features: Rosh Hashana And The Liturgical Year; The New Moon; Where Did That Sun Come From?; The Hallelujah Chorus; The World Has Already Ended Once; Faeries And Photons; Sir Patrick Stewart; Resolutions And Intentions, Or Rather, A Schedule; To Drink More Wine; and Oedipus Rex.
