A chayt - sin - in Hebrew means "an arrow that missed the mark." In my roles, how have I missed the mark -- as a father, husband, son, rabbi, shul member, citizen? I must use Elul to do tikkun between me and other humans, to be ready to face the Holy One.

Does brisket come that small? A whole kugel for 3? And what about the cakes? So much leftover to pick at, little by little. Maybe this year it’s a different menu, honoring the planet, respecting our bodies as well as tradition. Acknowledging a different year. Still, apples and sweet honey.

A spacecraft bound for another planet inevitably needs a course correction so it can fall into orbit around the planet and land on the surface. Likewise, embodied souls need occasional course corrections to fulfill their potential. May Elul provide some of the course corrections you need to make it so

So many discoveries as we stay close to home. New places to hike, walk, cycle; beautiful forests, hills, trails, ponds to explore. For the new year, discoveries close to home take on a different meaning as I look inward. Pay attention to my inner voice. Listen. Stop moving. Time for change and growth.
