Striving for perfection is an intentional commitment to mastering something that matters deeply to us. When we apply this approach to learning our prayers, we choose to become active participants in our services, our faith, and our community. As Rabbi Rafi Kaiserblueth regularly declares, "Judaism is not a spectator sport." Through this series, Rabbi Kaiserblueth guides us through the key prayers of our most significant festivals, demonstrating and explaining each prayer's meaning in a way that is accessible to everyone.
In the first season, Rabbi Kaiserblueth explores some of the soaring and sometimes challenging liturgy of the High Holy Days, and in this episode, he breaks down Unetaneh Tokef, one of the season's most challenging prayers. Who will live? Who will die? Do I really believe that? And why should I still recite it?
