Stronger Together: Elul 8

Teshuvah is never only about the self. The High Holiday liturgy is written almost entirely in the plural:

Ashamnu, bagadnu… We have trespassed, we have betrayed (Mahzor)

The High Holiday season insists that the “we” matters as much as the “I.” We are fundamentally in this process together.

Where do you need to strengthen a connection: with family, friends, or your community? Choose one place where a change could ripple outward.

Kavanah: Strengthen one relationship today. Let your return weave you back into the whole.
