CLD #383

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

Steaks, Meat, Hamburgers, Chicken Breast, Kebabs, Ktzitzot (meatballs), chicken fingers, Shnitzel, Parigyot, etc. BBQ’s are fun, but they all need preparation before the food is actually given to the guests. Usually there is more time spent on the sauces and spices put on the meat/chicken/fish before the food goes onto the grill.

We have an ENTIRE MONTH, Chodesh Elul (which is almost over) to spice ourselves up and get ready for Rosh HaShanah. It is a time to launder our hearts and clean our minds to “re-start,” to have a clean slate and get ready for a new year.

We need constant morale. Just like we are playing basketball or in some contest, we are pushed by our loved ones, so too with Chodesh Elul. Hashem is pushing us and telling us in a loudspeaker: push harder, you haven’t reached your potential yet! I will help you just show me some effort!

Hashem loves all of us exactly like a father loves his son and wants him to succeed! Chodesh Elul is not a couple hours given to us to prepare, stretch or breathe and relax; its an entire MONTH, 720 HOURS, 28,800 MINUTES to look at our past actions and just reflect and how we need to IMROVE, even if it starting with saying one Beracha everyday instead of zero. That’s 365 more Berachot annualy!

The Gemara in Berachot says the reason we say Berachot is because a simple reason. We need to appreciate what G-d gives us before benefiting from it in regards to hunger and satisfaction. Maybe we should try to take upon ourselves the mission to say 1 more Beracha everyday on food/water/bathroom (whatever, just pick one you don’t say) to say THANK YOU HASHEM right before Rosh HaShanah so we can pass the judgment with an innocent verdict!

Smile, cuz G-d loves you.

Yom Kippur is in 18 days.

Rosh HaShanah is in 8 days.

Selichot has already BEGUN.
