The story is told of two men visiting New York City for the first time who come across two Jews wearing long black coats, wide-brimmed hats, with long beards and payos (earlocks).
One man turns to the other and says, “What’s that?”
The second man replies, “Hassidim.”
The first man responds, “I see them, too -- but, what are they?”

And an angel of HASHEM called to him and said, “Avraham / Avraham!” And he said, “Here I am!” ( Breishis 22:11)
Avraham/ Avraham: It’s an expression of dearness that he doubled his name. (Rashi)
It’s quite reasonable that Avraham was spoken to affectionately at that moment. He had just demonstrated his willingness to bend his own will in favor of The Almighty’s in the most dramatic fashion ever. How is it, though, that repeating a name expresses dearness?
Every once and a while, in the spring, I am inspired to plant some different types of flowers. I happen to have a particular attraction to the elegant “sunflower”. On the shelf, at the nursery, are these little packets with colorful pictures of clusters of fully developed sunflowers. That’s usually enough of a lure to get me to buy some. Ever hopeful I push a bunch of seeds into the earth and wait for the happy results.
After a few days little heads have begun to peek out from the soil. Weeks later the necks are starting to stretch to the heavens. Not soon after this stage I have most often met with great disappointment. The plants usually begin to bend and bow penitently before falling back to the ground.
I look forward to the day when I will gaze out into the garden and behold: The sunflower emerging from the good earth actually matches the picture on that packet attached to the stick. Then I’ll shout with glee, “Sunflower!” while admiring the towering flower and then again “Sunflower!” as I perceive its perfect likeness to the picture
on the outside of the packet. It’s a match!The Zohar explains that a person’s name is
doubled when they actualize their potential. When the picture of what the person could be is mirrored by what the person is, then
the name is repeated as an expression of endearment.
The Rambam writes in his “Laws of Teshuva” that any person can become righteous like Moses. A person’s spiritual height, not like physical height is a function of how one exercises
their free will and not a determined fact of life. Can anyone reach the stature of Moshe? The Torah tells us explicitly that there will never again be another prophet like Moshe. His unique greatness will remain forever unmatched. What does the Rambam mean?
Before it became popular a friend of mine in yeshiva was busy stirring some green health- mix while others were busy with their toast and coffee. A fellow approached this petite pal of mine and asked him crudely, “Do you think you’re healthier than us?” My friend gave such a sweet and poignant reply, “No, but I am lot healthier than I used to be!”
No one is expected to be Moshe or Avraham. Each mined out the best of what was coded into the seeds of their beings. As we read about Avraham’s amazing achievement at the “Akeida”, on Rosh HaShana it may be worthwhile to remember that we are not being asked to be better or holier than anybody else on the planet but we are being urged by a pleading Shofar and the steady beat of the clock to become more and more ourselves.

The serious month of the Jewish calendar is upon us. All months are serious but Elul is just more
so. It has no special holidays or commemorative days within it but it certainly serves as the transitional month between the seasons of summer and autumn - of school vacations, trips, camp and the solemnity of the High Hoy Days of the beginning of Tishrei.
As such it always occupied a special place in Jewish tradition. It became a time of very intensive Torah in the schools, seminaries and yeshivot of higher Jewish education. Great Chasidic mentors who greeted and advised thousands during the remainder of the year went into private seclusion in Elul, receiving no visitors. Great communal rabbis took leave of their communal and congregational positions for a period of time during Elul to refresh themselves in the atmosphere of Torah learning and piety in the yeshivot of their time and place.
An atmosphere of anticipation, introspection and a search for one’s better self was created by the advent of the month of Elul. In our world of 24/7 with its constant pressures of work, finance, family and just getting around to where we wish to go – looking for a parking space in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem is a special form of penance imposed upon us for our misdeeds – almost precludes the desired atmosphere of Elul from reaching us.
Nevertheless it is unthinkable that we should approach the High Holy Days without some measure of preparation and introspection. After all, in the long view of matters, it is me and who I really am that determines the value of one’s life and accomplishments. So Elul should be exploited to the extent that we can do so and not simply ignored or dissipated.
One of the great aspects of Elul is that it dwells upon the future. Months that contain within them days of commemorations and holidays always possess a necessary emphasis on the history of past events. Elul possesses no such commemorative days. It encourages us to look forward to creating a better future for ourselves, our families and communities. It emphasizes that the misdeeds and sad events of the past should be considered as having ended and disappeared and now we can only look forward to better times and more positive behavior in the new year that now appears over our horizon.
The emphasis on introspection that I previously
described as being part of the Elul package – and introspection always concentrates on dealing with past events and behavior – is tempered and balanced by Elul’s demand to look forward and deal with the future in a hopeful and positive fashion. The ability to balance the past and the future in our lives is always a difficult task.
Dwelling on the past often induces unrealistic and distorted nostalgia which again always cripples our ability to deal with our current lives and our future. Once again, dealing only with the future and ignoring the events and lessons of the past can only lead to frustrations and disappointments when our rosy predictions and seeming certainties turn out to be wrong, useless and even dangerous.
Elul sets the right tone. It emphasizes our future while still demanding that a measure of introspection allows one to learn from the past year gone by - and to create a better emotional and psychological frame of mind and soul.
Elul is marked by the sounding of the shofar in the morning synagogue prayer services and by the recitation of selichot in the Sephardic and Near Eastern Jewish communities. These customs are meant to internalize within us the opportunities that the month of Elul offers for our spiritual restoration and growth.
There are no easy or even proven methods to help this process along within ourselves. Every individual must find his or her way alone. Judaism generally is not a one size fits all faith when it comes to spiritual growth. While we are all bound to perform the commandments of the Torah in their entirety, no explicit guide to finding spirituality in one’s life is granted to us.
Elul is a time to search deep into one’s own self for the personal road that we all seek - to become closer to the Creator and to leave a legacy of decency and Jewish commitment to those that will follow us. Elul is truly a special month for all of us.

Do you remember how much water intake is recommended to keep healthy? Sedentary men should drink 3 L (about 13 cups) and women need 2.2 L (about 9 cups). Unfortunately, thirst is a poor indicator of the need to hydrate oneself. Those who participate in a fat-loss program should drink an additional 8 ounces of water for every 25 lbs. they carry above their ideal weight. Of course water consumption should also increase if one is exercising briskly or residing in hot weather. Studies have shown that a fluid loss of even 2% of body weight will adversely affect circulatory functions and decrease performance levels during exercise. What happens when a person becomes dehydrated? Here are the effects:

The repetitive nature of everything associated with Rosh Hashanah is noteworthy. During
the entire month of Elul, we blow the shofar at the end of shacharis (morning prayer). Unlike Matzo, where many have a custom to abstain during the month of Nissan - 15 days before the festival of Passover - and others will not eat Matzo for a month in joyous anticipation of the spiritual crunch, anticipating Rosh Hashanah seems different. Instead of creating excitement by not blowing the shofar, we diminish the level by becoming accustomed to it. Of course, we must prepare ourselves. There is a lot at stake on Judgement Day, but wouldn’t an extemporaneous and unrehearsed blast of the shofar send more of a shiver down the spine and more forcefully a call for repentance, rather than a shofar-sounding ritual performed for 30 days prior that may by now feel quite rote?
The Selichos services are also a lead-up to the great day. Sefardic Jews have the custom to recite the pre-dawn prayers for the entire month of Elul. Moreover, Ashkenazic Jews can recite the selichos for more than a week before Rosh Hashanah. Would there not be a consideration that many Jews would get prayed-out from the pre-holiday supplications? Isn’t there a chance that they would get blown-away by the repetitive nature of the month-long shofar exercise?
In the Selichos service, we beseech the Almighty as if we were destitute. “Like beggars and paupers we knock on Your door. On Your door, we knock, Merciful and Compassionate One” (from the first Selichos prayer L’cha Hashem hatzedaka). Again, we knock - not once, but twice! Isn’t once enough? Surely G-d is not in the kitchen. He can hear us the first time!
My brother-in-law, Rabbi Simcha Lefkowitz, Rabbi of Congregation Toras Chaim in Hewlett tells the following story:
A meshulach (a man who raises funds for
charity) came one sunny Sunday morning to a large home in the Five Towns of Long Island. Eagerly he rang the bell, and simultaneously knocked on the door. A woman, quite displeased, swung open the ornate portal to her home and, knowing the man’s intent, she began to shout.
“What do you want? I never met you in my life! How do you expect me to give charity to someone I have never seen? I’m sorry, but this is my policy and I just can’t give you!”
The meshulach was not perturbed. Slowly, he walked around the block and fifteen minutes later he was back at the same door. Again he rang the bell, and again the woman came out shouting. “I told you I never met you in my life! How do you expect me to give charity to someone I have never seen! Didn’t I clearly explain my policy to you?”
The meshulach just smiled as he replied. “You are absolutely correct. However, you forgot one small thing. You know me already! After all, we met ten minutes ago!”
The weeks before Rosh Hashanah we must be wary that we may have to knock a few times to get into the big door. Of course, Hashem knows who and what we are, but we may be a little foreign to him. The daily shofar blasts, the recital of chapter 27 of Tehillim, L’Dovid Hashem Ori, twice daily in our prayers and the recital of daily selichos are all summarized in the words we recite, “like beggars we knock...we knock on Your door, Merciful One.”
We realize that we must reacquaint ourselves with the commitments and the great resolutions that we accepted upon ourselves one year ago. But if we knock once and knock again, ultimately we, too, can smile at the One standing at the door and ask for all our desires. After all, we were just there. And He knows us already!

The repetitive nature of everything associated with Rosh Hashanah is noteworthy. During
the entire month of Elul, we blow the shofar at the end of shacharis (morning prayer). Unlike Matzo, where many have a custom to abstain during the month of Nissan - 15 days before the festival of Passover - and others will not eat Matzo for a month in joyous anticipation of the spiritual crunch, anticipating Rosh Hashanah seems different. Instead of creating excitement by not blowing the shofar, we diminish the level by becoming accustomed to it. Of course, we must prepare ourselves. There is a lot at stake on Judgement Day, but wouldn’t an extemporaneous and unrehearsed blast of the shofar send more of a shiver down the spine and more forcefully a call for repentance, rather than a shofar-sounding ritual performed for 30 days prior that may by now feel quite rote?
The Selichos services are also a lead-up to the great day. Sefardic Jews have the custom to recite the pre-dawn prayers for the entire month of Elul. Moreover, Ashkenazic Jews can recite the selichos for more than a week before Rosh Hashanah. Would there not be a consideration that many Jews would get prayed-out from the pre-holiday supplications? Isn’t there a chance that they would get blown-away by the repetitive nature of the month-long shofar exercise?
In the Selichos service, we beseech the Almighty as if we were destitute. “Like beggars and paupers we knock on Your door. On Your door, we knock, Merciful and Compassionate One” (from the first Selichos prayer L’cha Hashem hatzedaka). Again, we knock - not once, but twice! Isn’t once enough? Surely G-d is not in the kitchen. He can hear us the first time!
