We continue to do reflective work and conscience work as Elul continues and we come closer to the metaphorical gates of judgment. We continue to consider our lives, our goals, our values and our aspirations as we do each year at this time.
The work is difficult, and rather daunting, if not even scary at times. But, we persevere in the hopes that 5783 will be the year that we get it right or maybe just get it better.
~ Rabbi Susan
