Shalom, mishpachah veh chaverim!
This is a very special time of the year for me and my forefathers. This is the month of Elul which means “search” in Hebrew. Elul is also a Hebrew acronym for “Ani l’dodi v’dodi li”, which means, “I am my Beloved’s and my Beloved is mine”, from the Song of Solomon 6:3. It is a time of introspection and preparation for Yom Teruah (Day of the Awakening Blast i.e. the Sound of the Shofar) and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement).
I believe it is important to do these things on a daily basis but it is imperative nothing is overlooked. SO, in preparing for these special moedim (appointed times our Abba), please forgive me for the things I have said and/or done which may have offended and/or hurt you.
May the New Year 5774/2014 bring us all to greater humility before our Father and before each other.
My heart’s desire is to live in such a way all my thoughts, words and actions will be “Kiddush HaShem” (a blessing and an honor to our heavenly Father).
