Miriam BergerGUEST
They, they sort of, you know, you, you inevitably have to pop home to sleep, but actually it's as if it's just running from one to the other.
Miriam BergerGUEST
Um, and then you have your, your Musaf, your additional service, Mincha, uh, your afternoon service, Ne'ilah.
Miriam BergerGUEST
So you have each of these different services, and within each one, there, there's a lot of repetition.
Miriam BergerGUEST
And in a way I kind of like it because it's not your one, your one chance to say these words or to hear these words or to think the right thoughts.
speaker_0HOST
Now, Kol Nidre, for many of us, is considered the most important prayer on Yom Kippur.
speaker_0HOST
More people go to Kol Nidre service than probably any other service on Yom Kippur than even the Ne'ilah, the closing service.
speaker_0HOST
Um, in a sense, Kol Nidre, while the closing service is really the highlight and, um, in some ways, but the Kol Nidre gets the most attention.
speaker_0HOST
For many, if they go to one service a year, if they're gonna go to one service on Yom Kippur, they go to the Kol Nidre service.
Aryeh Leib BenjaminGUEST
There's no judgment.
Aryeh Leib BenjaminGUEST
He's..." And I'm walking into Neilah, come home, and sure enough, uh, you know, I'm bracing myself for the worst.
Aryeh Leib BenjaminGUEST
Um, and I get a message from Dr. Schwartz, and he said, um, "Oxygen is, is..." You know, he said, basically he says, "I got him in about as good a shape as I can get him." And, um-
Chana WeisbergHOST
Mm
ZakheimHOST
You know, sometimes at the end of a fast, you're like, "I can keep going.
ZakheimHOST
I can keep going." Or at the end of Yom Kippur, you say, "I can keep going," or, "This Neilah's really powerful to me." Right.
ZakheimHOST
Sometimes it takes a long time.
ZakheimHOST
It takes 23 hours till we get to the very end of Yom Kippur.
Sara KalmusHOST
Finally, the last question I want to ask you is about the last prayer of the day.
Sara KalmusHOST
Ne'ilah, there's a lot of talk in Ne'ilah about the gates closing.
Sara KalmusHOST
There's a general feeling that an opportunity is about to end and it's the most intense time because it's the end and the gates are closing.
Sara KalmusHOST
But my question is, doesn't God listen to me all year round? What does it mean that the gates are closing?
Raphael ZarumGUEST
They open the ark.
Raphael ZarumGUEST
Everyone's standing.
Raphael ZarumGUEST
The Rav or Major Chazan starts singing the Ne'ilah.
Raphael ZarumGUEST
And we get moved.
Nemitoff-BreslerGUEST
The traditional shofar service focuses on the awe and majesty of God in this world.
Nemitoff-BreslerGUEST
The Neilah service, which we will do at the conclusion of Yom Kippur, elevates awe, gratitude, and joy.
Nemitoff-BreslerGUEST
We celebrate our clean slates, our new beginnings, and our morning liturgy traditionally recited every day says, "Ma rabu ma-asecha, Adonai," "How awesome are your works, O God, in wisdom you have made them all," even torrential rain.
Nemitoff-BreslerGUEST
Throughout these high holidays and every day, we are encouraged to discover the yirah, the awe in the world and in our lives.
Sharon BrousHOST
... comes out and is exposed.
Sharon BrousHOST
And we actually have a bunch of couples in this community who met during Neilah on Yom Kippur, during that last...
Sharon BrousHOST
I don't know if any of you were in the room right now, but it's like something very real happens because we expose ourselves, that we allow ourselves to be seen-
BJ MillerGUEST
Mm
Peter SokolowskiHOST
Today, it is mainly used in synagogues during the High Holidays.
Peter SokolowskiHOST
It is blown daily except on Shabbat during the month of Elul, the twelfth month of the civil year or the sixth month of the ecclesiastical year in the Jewish calendar, and is sounded a number of times during the Rosh Hashanah services and again at the end of the last service, known as Neilah, on Yom Kippur.
Peter SokolowskiHOST
The custom is to sound the shofar in several series that alternate in shorter notes resembling sobbing and wailing with longer unbroken blasts.
Peter SokolowskiHOST
With your Word of the Day, I'm Peter Sokolowski.
Rabbi StarkHOST
Um, and there's a lot of, uh, different feelings that people have at this time, and a lot of them are called yirat shamayim, baruch Hashem, but a lot of them are called what's ca- in, in Yiddish, nervin, just being nervous.
Rabbi StarkHOST
[laughs] Um, you know, I m- I, I picture somebody actually davening well on Rosh Hashanah and being like, "Wow, I davened so well on Rosh Hashanah, I'm so proud of m- myself." Then he opens his eyes and sees he's the first one who finished Ne'ilah.
Rabbi StarkHOST
He's like, "Oh, no." And he's like, "Yu leratsah.
Rabbi StarkHOST
Ah." Like he's waiting for someone to take three steps back so he's not the first.
Rabbi StarkHOST
This bracha will take care of...
Rabbi StarkHOST
How many Shemoneh Esreis are we gonna have with this? Should we do some math? Let's see.
Rabbi StarkHOST
How many? It's 12, you counted? We have to count Ne'ilah.
Rabbi StarkHOST
You have to count Ne'ilah.
Shmuel ZuckerHOST
When I leave here, sometimes after Yom Kippur, after Matzah Yom Kippur, I drive past Rachmash Rivka on the way.
Shmuel ZuckerHOST
And there they're before Ne'ilah.
Shmuel ZuckerHOST
They're at 11 o'clock at night.
Shmuel ZuckerHOST
And you have the Olam there.
Shmuel ZuckerHOST
And it's already like 9 o'clock, Matzah Yom Kippur.
Shmuel ZuckerHOST
And they're still in the middle.
Shmuel ZuckerHOST
They haven't started Ne'ilah yet.
Shmuel ZuckerHOST
And suddenly they call, People don't want Yom Kippur to go.
