Rabbi Zalman Melamed Delivers Pre-Yom Kippur Sermon Live
Rabbi Zalman Melamed, head of the Beit El Yeshiva, is delivering his "Shabbat Shuva" (Sabbath of Return) sermon ahead of Yom Kippur. The sermon is being broadcast live from the yeshiva's study hall. The address, given on Saturday night following the "Ha'azinu" Torah portion and during the "Shabbat Teshuvah" period of the Jewish year 5786, is a traditional pre-Yom Kippur religious discourse.
The "Shabbat Shuva" sermon is a significant event in the Jewish calendar, occurring between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the High Holy Days. It is a time for introspection and spiritual preparation for the Day of Atonement. Rabbi Melamed's sermon is a key part of this observance for many within the religious community.
