It’s Elul – Time For Teshuvah – Where Are You?
Elul-Teshuvah
Greetings & Blessings!
Today we celebrate Rosh Chodesh, the new month of Elul.
Time to reconnect and strengthen our relationship with the
Master of the universe. The spiritual power of the month of Elul
is explained by a beautiful parable based on the teachings of
Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the first Rebbe of Chabad-Lubavitch.
When the king is in his palace you dress in your best, you make
an appointment and if you are lucky, you are admitted to the
fabulous, impressive chambers of the King which inspire
love and awe in you. But when the king is in the field, he is
easier to approach. You come as you are.
You don’t experience the glory of the palace.
You make the effort to go see him on your own.
But how do we do this with the King of the universe?
We meet the King in the field of our inner self.
We look deep inside ourselves to see who we truly are,
and decide if that is who we truly want to be – and who
G-d wants us to be. If not, we fix it.
the “Return to G-d Soul Kit” – AND my very first ever video
book trailer. It is designed to inspire and guide you with beautiful
art and clear action steps how to greet the King in the field.I feel like I’ve found a brand new art medium and I love it!
You can see it at this link: http://holysparks.org/elul/
Please give me your honest opinion. I hope to make many more
of these short, inspirational videos to spread the light of Torah
and Chassidus on the internet in a fun way.

seven action-oriented Soul Adventures to help you with the special

From Mrs. Chavi Panet:
Wake up from the beautiful dream of the whole year!”"We all must be good, but we must wake up!”
“Sometimes a person refuses to wake up. What happens?
His friend shakes him awake so he won’t be late for an important
engagement. We have a choice. We can pull the blanket up
over our heads, refuse to wake up, [and wait for a rude awakening]
…or can wake up on our own, early, and prepare ourselves carefully.

This Week’s Soul Tip
The winds of Elul are blowing – can you feel them?
The Jewish month of Elul has a very special spiritual energy
for fixing past mistakes, clearing out the dust and stains of actions
and behaviors that don’t reflect who we really want to be,
and creating a new closeness with G-d.
so that you can greet the King in the field!
Here’s your
Soul Adventure for today:
You’ll need two pieces of paper, a pen, tape, and a timer.
Step 1. Set the timer for five minutes and write down everything
you don’t like about yourself – physically, spiritually,
emotionally – everything you can think of!
Keep your pen moving. If you run out of things,
doodle whatever your pen decides to draw – just keep that pen moving.
At the end of five minutes, stop writing – even if you’re not finished.
Step 2. Rip the paper up in little pieces about the size of a quarter.
write a positive character trait that you already have, or would like
to have. Tape them to the second piece of blank paper and post them
where you’ll see them to remind you of who you would really like to be.
May you have the clarity to know who you
really are, and what you need to strengthen, and what to let go!
May you be blessed with success and only good things!
