The Elul Project 5784: Day 6

compiled by Evan Traylor

הִגִּיד לְךָ אָדָם מַה־טּוֹב וּמָה־יְהֹוָה דּוֹרֵשׁ מִמְּךָ כִּי אִם־עֲשׂוֹת מִשְׁפָּט וְאַהֲבַת חֶסֶד וְהַצְנֵעַ לֶכֶת עִם־אֱלֹהֶיךָ׃

“And what does God require of you? Only to do justice, love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.”

Today's Reflection

We still believe, or many of us do, what the Exodus first taught…First, that wherever you live, it is probably Egypt; Second, that there is a better place, a world more attractive, a promised land; and Third, that the way to the land is through the wilderness. There is no way to get from here to there except by joining together and marching.

— Michael Walzer

Today's Question

As we enter this new year, how can you strengthen relationships with those in your community?

We encourage you to share your thoughts in response to our daily question by emailing elul@templemicah.org as we will incorporate many of them in our Yom Kippur afternoon service and dance. Will you join us?

About this year's Elul Project

Micah 6:8

Do Justice, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly

Our daily emails this Elul correspond to these three invocations of Micah 6:8 - to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly. Through this exploration, we ask, “What does God require of each of us, and of this community?”
