Elul: A Time of Hope and The Power to Change

by Jacobson, Rabbi Simon

“From [Moshe’s] unwavering faith in G-d’s mercy comes the power of Elul. It is the power of hope.

[Each day of Elul] we relive each step of Moses’ journey–his prayers, his pleading, his hope. We work on breaking the ‘golden idols’ that we worship and…that don’t allow us to access our true selves.

Whatever it is you want to change – Elul is the time for it… Act. Now is the time.”
