While we generally tend to try and improve our deeds and actions during Elul, we sometimes tend to forget a key element of it all. Doing tshuvah for feeling that life itself is a given. When we start from this angle, our asking for חיים when the new year approaches takes on a whole new meaning.

When it comes to entering the avoda of this time, one of the basic pieces of advice which R' Ya'akov Meir Shechter shared based on Rebbe Nachman's Torah is that it is safest to actually stop thinking, and start talking. It seems simple, and it is. Simple doesn't mean easy, but it is most definitely worthwhile.

Based on a teaching from Reb Ya'akov Meir Shechter, we began marching toward the inner work of Elul. The question we approached was a simple one. With all the insanity going on in the world, how am I to understand that my small movements toward a world of Tshuvah really make a difference in my life and int the world?

Tonight is the 86th yahrtzeit of the great light, Rav Avraham Yttzchak Hakohen Kook. We learned a letter Rav kook had written during Elul of 1933. It's quite mind-boggling how Rav Kook knew that we would need to inhale these words today, in 2021.

These thirty days of Elul can be quite intimidating. We start off this awesome period with a bracha, that the concept of 'time' should be inviting and not limiting. Here is a wonderful story about the Noam Elimelech and his careful approach to time in the month of Elul.

אורות התשובה פרק יד לז"כשאדם רוצה להיות דוקא צדיק גמור, קשה לו להיות בעל תשובה. על כן ראוי לו לאדם שתמיד ישים אל לבו את השאיפה להיות בעל תשובה שקוע ברעיון התשובה ושואף להתגשמותה המעשית, ואז תוכל תשובתו להרים אותו למעלה, עד מדת צדיקים גמורים, ולמעלה מזה.”
ליקוטי מוהרן ו א
מי שרוצה לשוב להשם יתברך, צריך לחגור מותניו שיתחזק עצמו בדרכי השם יתברך תמיד, בין בעלייה, בין בירידה.
שהם בחינת: "אם אסק שמים שם אתה ואציע שאול הנך". היינו, בין שיזכה לאיזה עלייה, לאיזה מדרגה גדולה או קטנה, אעפ"כ אל יעמוד שם ולא יסתפק עצמו בזה, וצריך שיהיה בקיא בזה מאוד לידע ולהאמין שהוא צריך לילך יותר ויותר, שזהו בחינת "בקיא ברצוא".וכן להפך, שאפילו אם ייפול חס וחלילה למקום שייפול, אפילו לשאול תחתיות חס ושלום, גם שם אל יתייאש את עצמו לעולם, בשום אופן, יהיה איך שיהיה.
רק יחפש ויבקש את השם יתברך ויחזק עצמו בכל מקום שהוא ובכל מה שיוכל.
כי גם בשאול תחתיות נמצא ה' יתברך, וגם משם יכולים לדבק את עצמו אליו יתברך. וזה בחינת "ואציע שאול הנך". בחינת "בקיא בשוב".כי אי אפשר לזכות לתשובה כי אם כשבקיא שתי בקיאויות אלו. ובאמת זה בקיאות גדול מאוד שיזכה לידע שצריכים ליגע את עצמו ולטרוח בעבודת השם תמיד, ולצפות בכל עת להגיע למדרגה גבוהה יותר. ואף על פי כן אל ייפול משום דבר. ואפילו אם יהיה איך שיהיה חס ושלום, אף על פי כן אל ייפול בדעתו כלל, ויקיים "ואציע שאול הנך" כנ"ל.
וכשיש לו שתי בקיאויות אלו, אזי הוא הולך בדרכי התשובה, ואז ימין השם פשוטה לקבל תשובתו, וזוכה לכבוד השם, ונעשה על ידי זה אדם לשבת על הכיסא.
אשרי לו.כי בכל מקום שנפלת לשם, נמצא איתך ה' יתברך.
אם אסק שמים שם אתה ואציעה שאול הנך.
כי בכל מקום שנפלת לשם, נמצא איתך ה' יתברך.''Shiur from Rav Shlomo Katz on the topic of the Avodah of the month of Elul.
