The King is Here
Tech Tribe Dispatch 169
💡 Think:
We currently find ourselves in the month of Elul - a preparatory month before the High Holidays. Elul reveals something amazing about ourselves. This month is compared to the stroll of a king through the fields. It’s a time when he is accessible to the people, found not in the grandeur of his palace, but in the land they work each day.
During the holidays, G-d is exalted. Rosh and Yom Kippur, with their pageantry and ritual, can feel deeply holy. But where is G-d in the mundane? Where is G-d when the bills and traffic?
But in Elul, that holiness is accessible. We go about our daily lives, the mundane drudgery of existence, and in that very space, we find the sanctity and connection to Creator of all in full.
