Inspiration from the Lives and Teachings of the Early Chasidic Masters with Rabbi Danny Horwtiz:

Who Will Live and Who Will Die?

The central prayer of the High Holy Days - Unetaneh Tokef - paints a dire prediction for the year ahead:  Who will live and who will die?  As we get ready for the High Holy Day season, Rabbi Steven Morgen will explore the brilliant way the Unetaneh Tokef was constructed by some Jewish “Shakespeare” from snippets of Bible and Rabbinic commentary.  Then we will put the pieces together with a modern spin that will deepen and enrich our prayer experience during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
