Shabbat Shuva:The Greatest Chesed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
These days of Aseret Yemei Teshuvah are the greatest chesed from Hashem. Imagine a man is standing on trial and his life is on the line. Before the judge gives his final verdict, the man pleads, "Please give me a chance. Tell me what I could do to get off the hook." The judge tells him, "I won't give the final verdict for another week. During that time, if you come to me, admit what you did wrong, sincerely regret it, and tell me you won't do it again, then I'll let you off." What a chesed! His
Living With the King (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On Rosh Hashanah, we crowned Hashem the King. We understood that Hashem runs the world. He is in charge of everything that takes place. We are nothing and Hashem is everything. And we are so proud and happy to be the children of the King in His kingdom. But now, we have to act on that knowledge. We have to live with the understanding that Hashem is the King. That means recognizing that everything that happens to us, every second of the day, is coming from the King. And He is not only Malkeinu, H
The Opportunity to Forgive (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We are now in the Aseret Yemei Teshuvah. The Rambam writes that during these days, a person should view himself as a benoni whose judgment is still pending. If he does teshuvah, he will be inscribed for life. That means that the order of the day right now is teshuvah. Every person must think about what he did wrong and try to correct it. The Rambam tells us that teshuvah is easily accepted during these days. Hashem is giving us such a great opportunity. He wants us to succeed, but we have to do
What Does Hashem Want? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the reasons we blow the shofar on Rosh Hashanah is to, so to speak, remind Hashem of Akedat Yitzchak and the great mesirut nefesh of Avraham Avinu. And in that zechut, Hashem has extra mercy upon us. One of the ways in which we can bring more of Hashem's mercy upon us now is through mesirut nefesh. But what exactly does it mean to show self-sacrifice? Rabbeinu Bachya describes how unfathomable the test of Avraham Avinu was. He waited one hundred years to finally have the child he had been
Never Underestimate What Remains (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today is Tzom Gedaliah, which comes right after Rosh Hashanah during the Aseret Yemei Teshuvah. We fast because Gedaliah ben Achikam, the leader of the small group of Jewish people who remained in Eretz Yisrael after the Churban HaBayit, was murdered. The Gemara tells us regarding this, שְׁקוּלָה מִיתָתָן שֶׁל צַדִּיקִים כִּשְׂרֵפַת בֵּית אֱלֹקֵינוּ — the death of tzaddikim is comparable to the burning of the Bet HaMikdash. But we may ask, there have been many great tzaddikim who passed away thr
