Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur

This is a great shiur 

Rabbi Daniel Glattstein explains a chiddush from from Rav Yonasan Eibeshitz.  Briefly he says when God was about to create man the angels were saying "Bad Idea, Bad Idea".  Rabbi Glattsetein makes a very interesting point.  Look at how destructive man is.  Isn't that really the basis of the argument against humanity and we look at our world and human history and we see vividly the truth of this statement.  Humanity is currently destroying everying on this planet and himself in the process.

However, the teachings of the Torah and the purpose of the Jewish people aim to somehow lead to the transformation of humanity and our destiny.
