Search your heart as you lie on your bed, and be silent. Selah."
-Excerpt from Ma'ariv for weekdays (part "Rigzu," taken from from Psalm 4, Koren Sach's Siddur)
VERY GOOD WORDS HERE.
Sin is anything that is not loving towards ourselves and others.
It is easy to forget and neglect quiet time for reflection.
This is one of the few ways to promote growth.
Deep concentration on our good and bad sides.
Regularly.
The Jewish New Year has officially rolled in. With the new calendar comes Yom Kippur, a time of reflection from the previous cycle up until this new cycle. New beginnings can be bitter sweet and scary. Change is stressful due to the unknown.
During Yom Kippur (Leviticus 23.26) we are instructed by some DOs and DON'Ts
DOs:
BE CAREFUL TO CELEBRATE IT
OBSERVE IT
Completely rest
HOWs?:
DENY OURSELVES
PRESENT SPECIAL GIFTS TO THE LORD
PERMANENTLY
FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION
From sundown of the 9th day-10th day of the same month of the Festival of Trumpets
(the 7th month)
DON'Ts:
Don't work
Don't work at all (EXCLAMATION MARK!)
SIMPLE ENOUGH.
Enjoy yourselves!
