The words Rosh Hashana do not appear anywhere in the Torah. The verses that do describe the first day of the seventh month are enigmatic to say the least. So how did Rosh Hashana come to be what we know it as today?
In today's class we follow the clues and spend time on an exceptional but not particularly well known episode in the book of Nehemia - which describes arguably the most important event ever to on Rosh Hashana (other than creation itself!)
The final ten minutes features a beautiful piece of Rav Hutner's Pahad Yitzchak based on the passage in Nehemia
