“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.”
