A moving and inspiring lesson for Rosh Hashanah: What is the deep meaning of the words "the day is the world," which we say in Rosh Hashanah prayers? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The words are taken from the curse of the prophet Jeremiah, who cursed himself: "Would that I had remained a dead fetus in my mother's womb forever." Our sages took the curse and turned it into a prayer: Today the world is reborn. Today you can be reborn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By Rabbi Yosef Yitzhak Jacobson deals with the great pain of our lives: We all carry enormous potential - dreams, talents, inner light - but it dies within the "womb" of our souls - the fear of criticism, the anxiety of failure, the concern "what will they say.". <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lesson provides practical tools for overcoming emotional paralysis and fear of failure. From the stories of the Netziv of Volozhin who almost became a carpenter, and the Rebbe of Shidlovtsa who refused to give in to fear, we will discover the secret to bringing our inner powers to light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It's time to stop living with dead dreams and let yourself be reborn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
