Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur—Days of Dancing • The Daily Lesson from the Gaon

Here is the full daily lesson as delivered by The Rav, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, on Thursday night, the eve of the 8th of Elul, Parshas Ki Seitzei, after the Ma’ariv prayer:

“It is written in the Haftarah of the second day of Rosh Hashanah: ‘You will yet plant vineyards on the mountains of Shomron’ (Yirmiyahu 31:4)—meaning that all the mountains of Shomron will be filled with vineyards. And it says, ‘You will yet adorn yourself with your tambourines and go out in the dance of those who rejoice’ (ibid. 31:3)—because Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are only days of dancing and singing. Therefore, all the daughters go out dancing, and on Yom Kippur they go out dancing.

And all the daughters place their red veils, and their red kerchiefs, on the window ledge, on the balconies—and everything becomes white by morning. And therefore everyone goes out only with dancing and circle-dances.

And through this we will merit the complete Geulah speedily in our days, Amen!”

To watch the replay of last night’s Ma’ariv prayer with singing and niggunim—the lesson begins at 48:53
