We are coming to the end of the month of Elul, Sunday night we will be entering the month of Tishrei and celebrating Rosh Hashana.
A whole year has gone by, many things happen in that time. We are ready to recommit ourselves to our King and our purpose in life, but we can’t do this without first getting a blessing from G-d Himself.
And H”S blessing consists of the opening verse of this week’s Torah portion:”You are all standing today…” TODAY refers to Rosh Hashana, the day of judgement… You stand fast and upright on this day;i.e., you are judged favorably.
This is G-d’s blessing on the Shabbat when we bless the “seventh month,” a month that is satiated and satiates all of us with abundant goodness all year round.
In the final days before Rosh Hashana, to win a good standing with H”S, we must demonstrate to G-d that we love Him, how do we do this? By showing love, compassion, forgiveness, and respect towards others. This is the best insurance for success.
