Elul

Without a healthy body, one can’t have spiritual health either. We know what to do, but now we have to resolve to do it.

Buried in Tel Aviv are the modern heirs of the ancient prophets.

As Elul dawns on us this week, don’t forget to remember all the tasks left undone, but remember to forget any trivial indignities you might have endured or any petty arguments.

Traditionally, Elul is the time for each and every one of us to take stock in our activities, to evaluate the past and to prepare for the High Holidays. That time is upon us.

The AGJC will hold a joint Selichot event for the 6 Gulf Countries: Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates.

Compassion: For those who are struck down by illness and for those who have to care of them. We often focus on those who are ill. But life turns upside down for everyone close to the patient.

Hosting 17 events, each with a chazzan, speakers and live broadcast, ensures the crowds will be spread out. The live broadcasts ensures those who can't come will be able to participate.

Elul begins the time of reflection on the year past and trying to improve in the upcoming year.

Choice and consequence are two of the most important aspects of our interaction not only with God but with every person we come into relationship with.

The lesson then is how to prepare for anything when we live in such an uncertain world.
