Greeting The Day of Judgment With Friendship:

Greeting The Day of Judgment With Friendship:

On the night of Rosh Hashanah, the Rebbe of Karlin zy"a once said (quoted in Bais Aharon on Rosh Hashanah) that it is impossible to greet Rosh Hashanah without "rayus", as is stated (Bamidbor 29:1): “It will be a day of teruah (blowing) for you." (He also understands the word “teruah” to be a reference to rayus.) This is also seen from the verse (ibid): "B'echad lachodesh hashvi'i" (on the first of the seventh month). The word "b'eched" indicates that it must be with achdus.
