CLD #376

For the Refua Shlema of Mordechai Tzvi ben Sara & Binyamin ben Blanka.

Taken from hidabroot.org:

Rosh HaShanah is Yom HaDin (Judgment Day). We need to know that based on Judaism, the entire world stands in front of Hashem, one by one to be judged.

Hashem does not only see the outside and the actions that one does in public, Hashem sees the deepest parts of our emotions, hearts, and the tiniest and finest details of each cell in our body. There is anywhere from 10-100 TRILLION Human Cells in a single body.

We are all going to be judged. Without our parents, without our siblings, without our lawyers/accountants/finacial advisors, without our phones or friends. 
Everything that happened in the last year. Everything: from the situations where one succeeded till the attendance of someone’s Funeral (Lo Alenu), all of this was signed on last Rosh HaShanah, late September 2010.

Hashem is our Father and our King. A King alone can grant one’s desires, but to actually want to do that for everyone in the kingdom is nearly impossible. A Father also just wants his children to be happy and obtain what they want, however to reach a level where he says: I can give you EVERYTHING, is also pretty ridiculous.

BUT a King who is also a Father, can support the entire Kingdom, there is an endless amount of support behind you! This is lehavdeel Hashem!

We all want to pass this judgment with a promised successful year full of smachot and just overall happiness. EVERYTHING is written down on Rosh HaShanah and signed as a guarantee on Yom Kippur.

Therefore Hashem gives us Chodesh Elul (this month in the Hebrew calendar). There are many ways Hashem ‘deals’ with us, such as Father/King/Uncle, etc. Elul is an Acronym of Ani LeDodi VeDodi Li (Aleph, Lamed, Vav, and Lamed).

In Elul Hashem deals with us like a Father who is a King and at the same time is like an Uncle. Everyone loves their uncle because he never gets angry because you are not always doing things to get him angry when he is with you and he always gives you presents and forgives.

Your uncle is always there for you. Throughout this month, Chodesh Elul, Hashem takes all of ‘His positive attributes’ (the only way to understand Hashem a tiny drop is to put it in human terms) and merges them together to completely forgive us for what we did the entire year that we should regret.

The Yetzer Hara and the Samech Mem (VeHamevin Yavin) tries to put in our minds imaginations and fantasies that seem so pure and so right to do, but in fact they are horrible sins that lead someone to reach the lowest and most dangerous levels of Judaism. This time is given to us to think and realize what we did and what we need to do in the future.

Everyday when we blow the Shofar (from the word LeShaper, to improve) is just to make us wake up and push ourselves to be more efficient and successful in our Avodat Hashem. 613 Mitzvot symbolize 613 Connection cables with Hashem! Hashem misses us, its just a matter of how much WE WANT to miss Him.

We already saw 15 days fly before our eyes. Have you done anything yet for Rosh HaShanah?

Yom Kippur is in 25 days.

Rosh HaShanah is in 15 days.

Selichot has already BEGUN.
