Words of Wisdom from our Tradition ...
"Who has reached complete teshuva? A person who confronts
the same situation in which he has sinned before, and then has
the potential to sin again and doesn't because of his own teshuva
alone and not because of fear or a lack of strength."
Moses Maimonides, Hilchot Teshuva 2:1
Our tradition teaches us that Elul, the final month in the Jewish calendar
is a time for us to take a cheshbon hanefesh, an accounting of our souls -
examining our deeds of the past year and making decisions about ways
we want to improve ourselves so we can make the New Year better.
We are entering the third week of Elul. The time is now.
Teshuva is a turning back and returning to try once again to be the best
person we can possibly be. Please use THB as support to help you take
an accounting of your soul; it will be our focus for the next month. The
coming month's blast messages will explore the concept of teshuva.
Together we will be prepared for a meaningful High Holy Day season.
May you be inscribed for a good year,
Rabbi Andrew Klein
