“Teshuvah is thus like a person on a journey who at some point decides to change direction. From that point on, his steps will be carrying him toward a different destination. The turn itself is accomplished in a second. Yet the new path, like the one abandoned, is long and arduous.”
― (Steinsaltz Adin)
“This is the truth: You lose some things because you didn’t see the darkness rushing toward you. Some things disappear because it all snuck up on you so quickly and quietly, and you weren’t paying attention. Okay. But once in a while a loss is preventable. You can stop it. And if you don’t, you are to blame. The trick is knowing which is which.” ― (Lauren Fox, Days of Awe)
“It is the beginning of Fall.
I am completely in awe.” – (LIVING IN AWE from the poetry of Gail Landgraf)
“The blessing over the blowing of the shofar on Rosh Hashanah refers to the mitzvah as “hearing the voice of the Shofar.” but since that voice speaks without words, the measure that is heard depends a great deal on who is doing the listening.” – ( Douglas Aronin)
