Do You Feel Lighter Today??? Fewer Pounds....NO SINS!! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Do you feel lighter today post Yom Kippur?? I do... physically yes (I can button my sport coat now, for real!), but more importantly, in a spiritual sense. The weight and stain of our transgressions lifted off/wiped away! Our purified selves. Let's take advantage of our new lightness to do great things: acts of chesed (kindness), Torah study, and mitzvot...including getting ready for Sukkot, which NOT COINCIDENTALLY, comes 5 days after Yom Kippur. So we can BUILD on (and with) our newly regained
Enjoy FOOD Today, Enjoy NO-FOOD on Yom Kippur! (Rabbi E in 3, with coffee) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Yom Kippur, the holy Day of Atonement, is almost here...a day when we transcend our physical selves and pleasures, and taste the (even deeper) PLEASURE of closeness to G-d, to our spiritual essence, and to our fellow Jews and human beings. EAT (and drink) WELL today--it's a mitzvah--so you can have the strength to RETURN in love to a state of At-ONE-ment.
The World is in the Balance: ONE Mitzvah Tips the Scale! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Talmud teaches us that we should always see ourselves--and the entire world--as equally balanced between merits and transgressions. Do one single mitzvah NOW, and you save yourself and the entire world! Do one single transgression NOW, and....well....you fill in the blank. We are presently in the 10 Days of Return (teshuva) that culminate in the holy and sacred day of Yom Kippur, day of atonement. These are days of judgment, when our lives are hanging in the balance. Let's not be scared by t
DO MORE NOW! (10 Days of Return!) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
No time to sit back and relax...it's time to DO!! More than usual. Why? We are in the awesome and powerful period known as the 10 Days of Return, which began on Rosh Hashanah, and continute until Yom Kippur one week from today. Every bit of extra energy put towards doing mitzvot, kind deeds (chesed), prayer (tefila) and giving charity (tzedaka) help us to "do teshuva," to RETURN to our true selves and purpose in this world. What we do now has more power to elevate us--and all of Creation--AND br
And AWAY We Go...The FINAL Pre-Rosh Hashanah Pep/Prep Talk! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's a busy day, as we all make final preparations for the joyous, and awe-inspiring, holiday of Rosh Hashanah. Here's a quick "last-minute" overview of these first TWO super-powerful days that kick off the new year...and which are themselves part of the incredible period called the "10 Days of Return (teshuva)." I like to call them, "Zamboni days," because the (spiritual) ice is smooth and fresh, and we can zoom ahead faster than any other time of the year. And don't worry about slipping or fal
