Welcome to the first episode of *Dayan Zobin On...*, a brand new podcast from the United Synagogue. Rabbi Michael Laitner is joined by Dayan Eliezer Zobin for a thought-provoking conversation exploring the themes of the High Holy Days.
From judgement, free will and teshuvah to the wake-up call of the shofar and the challenge of meaningful personal change, Dayan Zobin unpacks some of the most important ideas at the heart of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Along the way, he offers practical insights into reflection, gratitude, mindfulness and spiritual growth, helping to make these sacred days more relevant and meaningful in today's fast-paced world.
The conversation also touches on the wider Tishrei festival season, including Succot, Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah, and explores how Judaism encourages us to pause, take stock and reconnect with our deepest values.
Whether you're preparing for the Yamim Noraim for the first time or returning to familiar traditions, this episode offers timeless Jewish wisdom and practical guidance for the year ahead.
