Rosh Hashana Musaf (part 1)

In this class we learn about the nine blessings of the Rosh Hashana Musaf Amida. This is the central theme of Rosh Hashana, Kingship, Remembrance and Shofars.

The Talmud says that we include nine blessings corresponding to Hannah’s prayer of thanksgiving after her son Shmuel was born. But what is the deeper connection between Hannah and Rosh Hashana?
Kingship is the major theme of Rosh Hashana, yet it is lacking entirely in the verses about Rosh Hashana. Why is that? And how to the verses that the Torah brings as sources relate to the true meaning of kingship?
