Days of Awe 5777
The
Yamim Nora’im ~ Days of Awe
are the 10 days
beginning with Rosh Hashanah and ending with Yom Kippur, that many call “The High Holy Days.” Each year, we are given the gift in the cycle of Jewish time to concentrate and seriously reflect on the person we have become, imagine the person we wish be, and work on birthing the person we will be as we move forward in life’s journey. We are encouraged to engage in deep self reflection during this season of the Jewish year including the month of Elul that precede the Days of Awe on the Hebrew calendar. We review our behavior over the past year, identify mistakes and shortcomings, and consider avenues of repair and improvement
.
Elul creates a container of
love
in which to carefully reflect upon our behavior. We engage in
teshuvah
– sincere
turning
(from ways that do not serve us or the common good),
repair
(of wounds and broken relationships),
renewal
(of our values and intention), and
return
(to our highest self with a recalibrated way forward).
This reflection and cleansing allows us to re-aim at a meaningful future with renewed purpose and energy. We connect and reconnect with the best of ourselves, with our family members, our friends, and with the Source of Blessing – the One that connects all. Through this process we resolve to commence the Jewish year with a
renewed sense of purpose, a clearer vision, less baggage, and greater appreciation for the blessings that fill our lives on a daily basis.
