I recently heard an amazing vort given by Rav Lugasi Shlit’a. It describes the unbelievable opportunity Hashem gives us during Elul to recount and realign ourselves emotionally and spiritually.
Think of this month in the following manner. You are invited into a grand ballroom rented for a month by Hashem Himself. This room is filled with top lawyers. It is equipped with comfy chairs, air conditioning, background music and all the works. We are all invited to enter this room from Erev Rosh Chodesh Elul without charge until Yom Kippur. Everyone is invited; no racism.
In this room the lawyers give insights on how to be acquitted on our day of judgment. These lawyers in affect come in the form of sifrei mussar, Torah classes, our ratzon to right the wrong and times we allot to do cheshbon nefesh (self-accounting). We have one month to get our ‘act’ together and do some serious thinking and realigning.
Who opened this room and service to Klal Yisrael? The prosecutor Himself, Hashem our Beloved Father. Hashem wants to close the books and have us cleared of all charges. All year long we need to find our own lawyers and prepare the case on our own. This month we receive a special flow of Divine assistance from Hashem Himself. Thank You Hashem!
Today’s daily dose of emuna is dedicated to the refuah shleimah of Dovid Yosef ben Leah. May Hashem bless him with a complete healing b’riut hanefesh v’b’iut haguf among all of Klal Yisrael who are sick and suffering b’karov, b’rachamim, Amen.
