Tracing the Story of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur: How Jews Celebrate, Adapt and Belong - public lecture

Join Rabbi Moshe Givental lecturing online live from the United States for an introduction to Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the most sacred days in the Jewish calendar. We’ll explore how these days emerged, how they are grounded in biblical texts and rabbinic traditions, and how they continue to speak powerfully into contemporary Jewish life.

Rabbi Moshe is passionate about making Jewish tradition come alive in ways that are meaningful, accessible, and transformative. Alongside his teaching, Rabbi Moshe is actively involved in interfaith work, social justice initiatives, and environmental action, helping communities respond creatively to the challenges of our time. He was ordained at the Rabbinic School of Hebrew College.
