What does it mean that all of\u00a0mankind pass\u00a0before God on Rosh HaShanah, like sheep passing beneath a rod? What does this Mishna teach us about our obligations to God, to our communities, and to\u00a0each other?<\/p>\n<p>Prepare for the inspiring times of Rosh HaShanah with an equally inspiring and innovative approach to\u00a0this day&#8217;s significance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twenty five years ago, the Orthodox Union (in conjunction with Yeshivat Ohr Yerushlayim) published a journal entitled, Jewish Thought: A Journal of Torah Scholarship, edited by Rabbi Moshe Chaim Sosevsky.
