Month of Elul

The month of elul, which we are now in, just before the high holidays, is a time of deep reflection, concentration and preparation the new year. During this month, it is said that Gd comes closer to us, and our every action, thought and prayers have more power than ever to uplift ourselves and the entire world. Every additional mitzvah we take on, all additional moments of connection, are especially precious. This is the time to sit more, love more, become more conscious and more giving to those who are in need. There are energies available to help us. Let us join together in making both our lives and the world all they are meant to be.

Blessings to all.

We will be holding a pre-Rosh Hashonah session in prepartion for his precious time. More details to be announced shortly.
