The whole year, Hashem waits for us to come to Him.

During the Aseres Yemei Teshuva, Hashem comes to us.  

Let Him in.

~ R’ Shlomo Landau

The Arizal teaches that each day of the Aseres Yemei Teshuvah gives us the opportunity to repair the mistakes we made on that same day of the week throughout our lives.

But if there are only seven days of the week, why are there ten days of teshuvah?

Because Rosh Hashanah accounts for two days, and Yom Kippur for one—leaving seven days, one for each day of the week.

I understood then why teshuva requires both regret and resolve.

Regret without resolve collapses into despair. 

Resolve without regret becomes performance.

It is a new year, and brand-new things can occur.

The reality of the past can turn around, and everything can become good.

Return began as honesty. 

Not confession yet. 
Not resolve. 

Just the willingness to stop pretending that I was fine.

“It’s never too late, and we can accomplish so much, even during the last few moments of the year.”

~ R’ Elimelech Biderman

And on that note, as I post each year, our sages teach: “Tzedakah saves from death.” (Mishlei 10:2).

But more than that, it brings blessing, mercy, and protection for the entire year ahead. The Rambam writes that no mitzvah is as universally powerful in protecting a person as tzedakah.

As we approach Rosh Hashanah, now is the moment to ensure that not a single day of the year passes without this great mitzvah in your merit.

Two wonderful opportunities make this easy:

Daily Giving – https://dailygiving.org/
Sign up to give $1 a day, automatically supporting over 75 outstanding Jewish charities. A simple way to transform your entire year.

Keren Hashana – https://www.lubavitch.com/donate/keren-hashana/
Established by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, this fund distributes your tzedakah daily on your behalf. You can give as little as 5 cents a day ($19.50 for the year) for yourself and each family member, ensuring that every single day of the year, you and your loved ones are giving.

Don’t delay!  Set this up today so that by the time Rosh Hashanah arrives, your year is already filled with the mitzvah of tzedakah.And remember: “Causing others to give tzedakah is greater than giving it yourself” (Bava Basra 9). Please forward this to friends and family.  Who knows how many people will sign up for this great mitzvah and how much of an effect it will have on your neshama going into Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur

Some souls require poverty to learn trust.

Others require wealth to learn restraint.

Some require obscurity to learn sincerity.

Others require visibility to learn humility.

The most fundamental concept to work on is to increasingly become aware of the value of the afterlife, to realize how little this world has to offer in comparison.  

By internalizing this attitude, you will not allow either physical or material bias to rule your actions in life.  

~ R’ Yechezkel Levenstein zt”l

No life is assigned casually. I was shown that nothing I would experience would be wasted. That no struggle would be decorative. That even the parts I would resent most would be precise instruments, tuned carefully to reach places in me that comfort never could.
