You can’t force change – you can only wake up to something new

In this episode of Thoughts About Life, Shaul and Chana Rosenblatt explore what Rosh Hashanah can teach us about change — and why trying to force ourselves to become different may actually get in the way.

Together, they explore:

• Why New Year’s resolutions so often fail
• What the shofar might really be calling us towards
• Why Rosh Hashanah can be a day of dreaming and vision
• The surprising connection between self-acceptance and change
• Why real change may be about seeing differently, rather than simply doing differently
• How stepping out of the past and future can help us see the present more clearly
• And why every moment — not just Rosh Hashanah — can be a fresh start
