  Quoted from Torah Wellsprings-Rosh Hashanah

  It appears from the Zohar that one should primarily pray for ruchniyos (spirituality) on Rosh Hashanah. The Zohar says that those who daven for their personal needs on Rosh Hashanah are like dogs who shout, "hav hav — Give more! Give more!"
  However, tzaddikim taught us there are exceptions to this rule. When one requests gashmiyos (material things) and his intention is so he can serve Hashem better, it is permitted, and even advised, to daven for material matters on Rosh Hashanah. 

  One year, before tekiyas shofar, the Baal Shem Tov zy'a told his students to pray for their parnassah and material needs, even on Rosh Hashanah. He explained that since the gashmiyus will lead to improved avodas Hashem, it is called praying for ruchniyos. 12 

  Rebbe Pinchas of Koritz zy'a also encouraged people to daven for their material needs on Rosh Hashanah. He said, "Those who don’t ask don’t have." 13

  Rebbe Moshe of Kobrin translated the following words, from the Rosh Hashanah Shemonei Esrei: קדוש אתה ונורא שמך, “You are holy, and Your name is awesome. [So how can I speak to You about money issues and other mundane issues? The answer is] ואין אלו"ה מבעלדיך, I don’t have another G-d other than You.

  12. Another benefit of praying for your material needs is that such a tefillah is often more sincere, since these matters lay heavily on one’s heart. The Tzemech Tzedek said that when one requests for his personal needs, it is teshuvah iloya (a very high level of teshuvah) because his words are coming forth with sincerity and truth from the depths of his heart to Hashem.

  13. Rebbe Asher of Stolin zy'a said "The Zohar prohibits shouting "hav hav — Give more! Give more!" This means that he has his needs, only he wants more. This is forbidden to request on Rosh Hashanah. But for someone who doesn’t have enough, there is nothing wrong for him to ask. The tzaddikim of Karlin zy'a taught their chassidim to read Parashas Haman every day of Aseres Yemei Teshuvah. Hashem is rationing our parnassah for the entire upcoming year, so we should daven for parnassah.

  Your teachings are so awesome.
  
  It’s like listening to Pavarotti day in and day out and after every concerto, giving amazing feedback. It can almost feel repetitive and diminishing....
  
  And I can’t even begin to compare the Torah, the Divine infinite truth, inspiration you share with us day in day out, to Pavarotti ....
  
  I have no other tool than words to let you know the deep everlasting impact that every class leaves on me and on so many others, yes every class of yours touches and awakens another aspect of Divine truth and allows for new and more light into my life.
  
  This class again that you are teaching us from the Rebbe  is mind shattering.
  
  It shine the light of Yidishkeit with love and compassion. Embraces and invites the human condition to join into the spiritual dance of Rosh Hashanah and create holy music for God.
  
  It allows us to be very human and own every part of ourselves, our desires and our needs with pride and dignity.
  
  And bring them to shul and share them with God without guilt, shame or needing to amputate them.
  
  This kind of Yidishkeit is what opens up the door for me to be able to experience real transcendence with “all of me”!
  
  Thank you, thank you for all!!!
