Shelby FriedmanHOST
My name is Shelby Friedman, and today, for the last time, we'll be learning Sefer Yeshayahu together as we tackle the final Perek, Perek Samech Vav, chapter sixty-six.
Shelby FriedmanHOST
This Perek is the Haftarah for Shabbos Rosh Chodesh, and it encapsulates so much of what we've discussed in Yeshayahu for the last sixty-six days.
Shelby FriedmanHOST
It opens up with rebuke, Tochachah, for the people.
Shelby FriedmanHOST
But as the Abarbanel argues, and we'll see it's true, we need to ask ourselves, is this rebuke, or is this actually just clothing, which deep down inside is an invitation? An invitation to Am Yisrael, indeed an invitation to us to engage with our Judaism and with Hashem in an authentic, rigorous, and invigorated manner.

Shelby FriedmanHOST
Let's take our last few minutes together to look at the last two pesukim of Sefer Yeshayahu.
Shelby FriedmanHOST
The second to the last pasuk is rather famous.
Shelby FriedmanHOST
In fact, it is seen as the source for maybe why we read this unit on Shabbos Rosh Chodesh, because it says, Ve'haya midei chodesh be'chodsho u'midei Shabbos be'Shabbato.
Shelby FriedmanHOST
It makes reference to Rosh Chodesh and Shabbos.
Melissa Schilling SmithHOST
There's usually an 18 minute window of time where the visible moon is seen right above the horizon.
Melissa Schilling SmithHOST
It's very faint, very difficult to see, but it marks the renewal, the Rosh Chodesh, the renewal of the head of the month, okay? Tonight is the first day of the seventh month.
Melissa Schilling SmithHOST
I do believe We should practice celebrating.
Melissa Schilling SmithHOST
We are told in all of our dwellings to blow the trumpet because the whole world will know when Yeshua returns.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
They ask him, "Tell me, everything in life has the timing for it.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
This music and jumping and screaming, do it in the Sivat Rosh Chodesh.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
Do it in a bar mitzvah.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
Everyone dance.
Moshe LevinHOST
I turn to my loving God and my loving God turns to me.
Moshe LevinHOST
The God who loves me with infinite divine love, which is bestowed us particularly... as from Rosh Chodesh Elo 3, Yom Kippur, as explained by our sages.
Moshe LevinHOST
Hence, during this time, as also throughout the year thereafter, this extraordinary divine love must evoke in the heart of every Jew a boundless love for God.
Moshe LevinHOST
As the psalmist expresses it, Whom have I in heaven, and on earth I desire nothing but you.
Shlomo YisraeliHOST
The halachot in Shukar HaRachayim is in Siman Taf Chafvav.
Shlomo YisraeliHOST
In the halachot of Rosh Chodesh.
Shlomo YisraeliHOST
That's where you find them.
Shlomo YisraeliHOST
And.
Avraham ZajacHOST
Guys, we are celebrating Hanukkah.
Avraham ZajacHOST
Right? The seventh day, first day of Rosh Chodesh.
Avraham ZajacHOST
So what do we read? How on every of the Shavuotim, where we're leading, is in already one, it's singular.
Avraham ZajacHOST
Everything that's in the kaf is one.
speaker_0HOST
The Talmud says that there's something missing on Rosh Hashanah, any Yom Kippur for that matter.
speaker_0HOST
And that is a special set of Psalms that we call Hallel, that we usually add to most holidays, even Rosh Chodesh, the new month.
speaker_0HOST
But on Passover, on Sukkot, we add a special prayer service called Hallel, praises, which is a very happy, uplifting set of Psalms to show our gratitude about the the great events of life, the miracle events, the miraculous events of the past.
speaker_0HOST
And we say, well, we experienced a miracle and we're still happy to this very day.
Yitzchak BreitowitzHOST
I don't know if any of you have ever participated.
Yitzchak BreitowitzHOST
I have never actually participated in a musical Halil Rosh Chodesh, a musical Selichos.
Yitzchak BreitowitzHOST
Uh, but I've seen, I've seen some videos of it, and I've spoken to people who have, uh, gone to it.
Yitzchak BreitowitzHOST
And for many people, it's a very inspiring thing.
Zvi SobolofskyHOST
And according to the view of the Bavli, the Gemara never really succeeds.
Zvi SobolofskyHOST
The Gemara thinks that the, the difference is that the kan Rosh Chodesh chal beShabbos, kan Rosh Chodesh chal bechol.
Zvi SobolofskyHOST
That if Rosh Chodesh falls out on a weekday, then it's a Yom Teruah yom lachem.
Zvi SobolofskyHOST
If it falls out on a Shabbos, like this year, then it's merely a Zichron Teruah.
Zvi SobolofskyHOST
Then you don't actually blow the shofar, you merely talk about the shofar.
Zvi SobolofskyHOST
The Gemara says that if you really truly believe that Yom Teruah refers to Tuesday and Zichron Teruah refers to Saturday, then why should there be a discrepancy between in the Beis Hamikdash and outside the Mikdash? So the Gemara backpedals and says you're not right.
Zvi SobolofskyHOST
That's not the pshat of the Mishnah.
Zvi SobolofskyHOST
The reason why we don't blow a shofar on Rosh Chodesh Shabbos is a totally different reason.
Shay SchachterHOST
If you were God, if you were Hashem, and you had a people that was enslaved for hundreds of years, and now you're taking them out of slavery and giving them an opportunity to see a new life, to experience a new perspective, to lead a new journey.
Shay SchachterHOST
What would be the first mitzvah of all the 613 mitzvahs in the Torah? What would you choose? I would not have chosen Rosh Chodesh.
Shay SchachterHOST
What would you choose? Probably Shabbos, kosher, something like that.
Shay SchachterHOST
But yet...
Shay SchachterHOST
A free person has the ability to decide and to choose what they are going to do at every moment of the day, how they are going to spend it.
Shay SchachterHOST
Not only that, they have the ability to infuse a day with sanctity.
Shay SchachterHOST
You can take a day on the calendar and declare that this is going to be Rosh Chodesh.
Shay SchachterHOST
That means you have just infused sanctity superseding the day on the calendar.
