Shilo and Rosh Hashanah
What is so special about Hannah’s prayer? Why did Chazal learn from Hannah the essence prayer? The structure of the Rosh Hashanah prayer? and why is Hannah’s story the Rosh Hashanah Haftara?
We need to understand the worldview of all the people in the story – Elkanah, Pnina, Eli the priest. And how Hannah presents a different worldview: that prayer has the power to influence, even if a divine decree has already been made. That is why Chazal chose to place this concept at the center of Rosh Hashanah
