Street Farbrengen Episode # 139: Commitment Issues: What Am I Actually Willing to Changing This Rosh Hashanah?
Rosh Hashanah isn't just the head of the year—it's meant to lead the year . Reuven and Zaharia wrestle with what it means to make a real hachlata : not simply another goal, another page of Gemara, or more words of Tehillim, but a commitment that actually changes the person making it. What if davening isn't asking Hashem to change our circumstances, but asking for the power to change ourselves and our circumstances? And what if the hard work we're avoiding is actually where oneg —our deepest pleasure—is found? A Street Farbrengen about Rosh Hashanah, commitment, oneg, personal responsibility, crowning Hashem as King, and the uncomfortable difference between living by habit and choosing who you're going to become.
