About this listen

As we approach Rosh Hashanah, the thought of being judged by God can feel unsettling. It brings discomfort. Even fear. But Divine judgment is actually one of the greatest gifts that Hashem gives us. Understanding why, reveals a perspective on Rosh Hashanah that turns everything we thought we knew, on its head.

Drawing from Pirkei Avot and the deeper meaning of this Day of Judgment, Chief Rabbi Dr Warren Goldstein shows how being held accountable by God is the ultimate affirmation of human dignity and the purpose of life.

The King of Kings created a day of judgement to help us, and gave us the idea of Divine accountability because every choice we make matters eternally. This Jewish New Year, as the season of the High Holidays begins, discover why Divine accountability transforms how we understand our worth and purpose.

Key insights:

  • Why being judged proves your infinite worth

  • How Pirkei Avot reframes divine accountability

  • What makes Rosh Hashanah different from human judgment

  • Why mattering to God changes everything about how we live

  • The connection between judgment, teshuva, and eternal significance?
