I joined a great book study at the synagogue centered on 60 Days: A Spiritual Guide To The High Holidays by Rabbi Simon Jacobson for the next 5 weeks. I'm so delighted to embark on this journey and have already started to ponder so much from the daily exercises. This study has really lead me to dig deep and reflect upon areas that I wouldn't normally explore.
Here's a little snippet from a website mentioned at our book study that focuses on this time of year:
"The Jewish month of Elul, which precedes the High Holy Days, is traditionally a time of renewal and reflection. It offers a chance for spiritual preparation for the Days of Awe. It is traditional to begin one’s preparation for the High Holy Days during this month with prayers of forgiveness, but I like to think of it as a whole-person preparation activity. We look to begin the year with a clean slate, starting anew, refreshed. All month, along with others, I'll be blogging a thought or two for each day to help with the month of preparation... I will be blogging here, and sharing #Elulgram photos on the same themes at imabima.tumblr.com and on Instagram @imabima."

May you continue on the path of life-long learning.
