Rosh Hashana in TA with the Deaf

Rosh Hashana in Tel Aviv

Two weeks before Rosh Hashana,  Rabbi Alex Yeres from IYIM Judaic Heritage Program for the Deaf  and spoke at the Tel Aviv Deaf center to 70 participants.

Rabbi Yers explained to all present the importance of Rosh Hashana and the blowing of the shofar.

In addition, he told a moving parable of a king who banished his son from the royal palace because of bad behavior. After many months of wandering, the son – the prince was received back by the father- the king. As the son was dirty and unkempt, he was recognized by the father only through his voice. So too we- the son are soiled by the sins we did during the year and we are only recognized by  Hashem, our father thanks to our voice praying.

Rabbi Yeres then explained the significance of the “good signs” – the simanim tovim at the Rosh Hashana meal.

He concluded with the blowing of the shofar enabling those who could not hear to “feel” the vibrations of the shofar.
