Rabbi Dovid Goldwasser - August 26

25 Menachem Av

We begin preparations for the days of Elul. It is suggested that a person begin to prepare a calendar to chart a course of teshuvah for each day of Elul.

How overwhelming one might find teshuva to be. All the details, fear, regret etc, but we forget that Hash-m gave us this power to do Teshuva on ANYTHING as a gift!! Really we can be forgiven for anything and everything!

We learn in Sha'arei Teshuva that one must realize that even Tzaddikim fall sometimes. We learn that there is NO ONE in the world that lives without ever sinning!

it has been recorded that R' Yisroel salanter, ZTL, used to hear Rosh Chodesh Bentching for elul, you could see a visible change in him from Shachris to Musaf.
