Rabbis Roundtable: The Meaning of the High Holy Days

Begin the process of turning inward for the High Holidays with esteemed rabbis of New York City's Upper East Side congregations, Rabbi Angela W. Buchdahl of Central Synagogue's Reform congregation, Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove of Park Avenue Synagogue's Conservative congregation, and Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz of the Modern Orthodox synagogue Kehillath Jeshurun. It was a privilege to have these three New York rabbis, representing three different streams of Judaism, convene in our JBS Studio for a conversation about preparing for the holiest time of the Jewish year. They expound on what the holidays mean to them, the challenges of preparing sermons, the beauty of the prayers, the moments they each find most meaningful and more.
