High Holidays & the 12 Steps —Yom Kippur

What if one idea could change the way you experience your entire year? In this sicha, the Rebbe shows how a single insight from Shabbos Bereishis transforms the way we live. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Bereishis in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1.

In Part 3 of "High Holidays & the 12 Steps," we explore the themes of joy and interconnectedness as embodied in Sukkos and Simchas Torah. Discover why these are considered the "highest holidays," representing the culmination of Rosh Hashanah's surrender and Yom Kippur's atonement, and how they relate to practicing spiritual principles in all aspects of life.

In honor of Vov Tishrei, the yahrzeit of the Rebbe's mother, Rebbetzin Chana, this class delves into a profound teaching from Likkutei Sichos (Vol. 19, pp. 291-297). The Rebbe revolutionizes our understanding of prayer, drawing lessons from the prophetess Chana's example to reveal how asking for our needs can be the ultimate expression of our connection to the divine. Discover how this perspective deepens our approach to prayer and strengthens our bond with Hashem.

Part 2 of "High Holidays & the 12 Steps" looks at Yom Kippur and the mechanics of "at-one-ment." Getting rid of our character defects isn't just about cleaning house; it first requires a fundamental surrender to a Higher Power.

Part 1 of High Holidays & the 12 Steps: spiritual prep for the Jewish New Year through the lens of recovery. In this Rosh Hashanah class, we explore surrender, vision, and beginning again—translating core 12-step ideas into practical avodah for the Days of Awe. Part 2: Yom Kippur. Part 3: Sukkos.
