Abigail Morris and Rabbi Miriam Berger explore Rosh Hashanah as something far more contemplative than a conventional New Year celebration. They discuss its rituals and symbols—from apples and honey to the hundred notes of the shofar—and consider what they can teach us about hope, identity, relationships and the possibility of beginning again. Reflecting on the difficult Torah stories of Sarah, Hagar, Ishmael, Abraham and Isaac, they ask how we can remain true to our values in a divided world, prepare meaningfully for the year ahead and find the courage to turn our hopes into action.
