Think:
This coming week we begin Elul, the mystical month of preparation before Rosh Hashanah and the High Holidays. There is much to unpack about this month (see below!)
But at even its most basic levels, it’s a time when the action must come from us.
Whereas during Passover, it was G-d who schlepped the Jewish people out of Egypt - with miracles and signs and mighty, outstretched hands - during Elul we refine ourselves. We delve inwards, and through that bring *ourselves* ever higher.
DO:
Grab your seat for First Friday Society on September 6th, when we’ll explore the mystical month of Elul.
