The Creation of Creation

58th Century Judaisms

Rebbe Nachman brings a twist to the significance of Rosh Hashana: it's celebrating the creation of the world, of course, but that's something we do every moment. We just need to do it better. Turning raw potential into actuality, taking an idea and limiting it into words, acting in the world and sometimes messing it up - that's life itself.

Welcome to read through the (abridged) texts I'm using on the sourcesheet here: https://www.sefaria.org/sheets/345549?editor=1

If it's helpful, last year I put together a list of ideas for celebrating Rosh Hashana alone, outside of synagogue communities. The pandemic is far from over, and maybe this is still relevant for you or someone you know.

As usual, would love to hear any thoughts or feedback from anyone listening. You can write to me through my website, 58thcentury.world

Shana tova umetuka, have a sweet and wonderful new year!
