As we enter the Hebrew month of Elul, our preparation for the Holidays of Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur intensifies our actions of Teshuvah.
Our Tradition and Sages teach us to use the following tools to assist us in that process of Teshuvah:
1. Psalm 27 - say it daily
2 Slichot - Sephardic minhag starts on September 5. Ashkenazi minhag starts on September 24.
3. Hear the Shofar every day starting September 5.
4. Read or Scan the Tikunei Zohar during the 40days between Erev Rosh Chodesh Elul on September 3 and Yom Kippur on October 11.
To assist our students efforts we are increasing our study and meditation during the month of Elul as follows:
1. Every day we will have 1/2 hr studies and prayer sessions morning and evening. The morning session will be 8 AM Pacific Time and the evening session will be at 6PM Pacific time. Our other classes will continue at their normally scheduled time.
Our conference call phone number for all sessions is 712-832-8300 - use pincode 911904#.
National Days
In America almost each day of the year has many national days that promote consumption of material items. At Yeshshem we thought it a good idea to promote spiritual connections rather than material consumption.
Special Days in Elul:
September 11 - 8th of Elul - National Honor Your Ancestors Day.
September 12 - 9th of Elul - International Build Your Community Day
September 13 - 10th of Elul - InterNational "Be Humble Day" instead of National Peanut Day
September 14 - 11th of Elul - Creative Action Day instead of Cream Filled Donut Day
September 15 - 12th of Elul - National Tree of Life Day instead of Online Learning Day which represents the Tree of Knowledge according to the Modern Kabbalists.
September 16 - 13th of Elul - International Acknowledge Your Mistakes Day instead of National Cinnamon Raisin Day.
September 17th - 14th of Elul - InterNational Truth Day instead of Big Wopper Liar Day.
