Crying on Rosh Hashana

Crying on Rosh Hashana Day: Monday Date: September 4, 2017 Parshat: Ki Tavo Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 583 Sponsored by Skilled Moving and Storage.

Therefore during the prayers one should not try to summon tears. Instead he should be happy and trust that Hashem in his infinite kindness has written him and his family in the book of life. One should try very hard to not let his anger get the better of him on Rosh Hashana, as it says in Pirkei Avot "better a calm person than a strong one, and better one who controls himself than one who conquers a city." If possible one should also study the mishnayot of masechet Rosh Hashana at the holiday meals.  DSH is brought to you in memory of Rabbi Mordechai ben Daniel.
