Rosh Hashannah--Getting Closer!
by
Elul 21, 5768, 9/21/2008
One week left. There's so much left to do, invite guests, plan meals... but that's not the most important. 
We;re really supposed to be preparing our souls, mulling over our deeds, doing úùåáä tshuva, repent. But I have a problem with the word, term, idiom. What is it ìçæåø áúùåáä lachzor b'tshuva, return to the return? It doesn't make much sense to me either. The word úùåáä has another meaning, Like in ùàìä-úùåáä question-answer. Maybe we're supposed to return to the old answers and not think our generation is smarter than the previous ones. We should never say: "That may have been OK for my grandmother, but not for me." Our Torah is timeless. Shannah Tovah--Gmar Chatima Tovah
