You’re Asking the Wrong Question

What if the question most people ask every Rosh Hashanah isn’t the most important one? In this episode, Linda Sadacka explores a fascinating Torah perspective that reframes the way we prepare for the new year. Drawing from the Zohar, Chazal, and timeless Jewish wisdom, she examines why certain moments carry extraordinary spiritual potential, how Shabbat can shape the year ahead, and what each of us can do to enter the new year with greater purpose, blessing, and clarity. The episode also explores the power of Jewish unity, the often-overlooked significance of welcoming Shabbat early, and how one family’s Shabbat can become a source of spiritual support for an Israeli soldier.
