E.+Rosh+Hashana-Yom+Kippur

=Learning about //T'shuva// from Our Rabbis=

All through the Hebrew month of Elul, which precedes Rosh Hashana, which falls on the first two days of Tishrei, the shofar is blasted to remind us that we are supposed to be thinking about engaging in the process of //t'shuva// - self-reflection about where we have achieved our goals and where we have missed the mark. This is not an easy process and undertake and it takes time and effort. One of the hardest parts about //t'shuva// is that you don't always know if you have succeeded at it right away. Sometimes it could take months or even years to find out. Nevertheless, each year in advance of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, we work on ourselves and make an effort to wash away the things we have done wrong and start fresh in a New Year.

We will spend some time during this year's High Holiday season, in different ways, learning and talking about //t'shuva,// how to do it, and what it means. We will use the texts in the packets below.
