The Last Step: Elul 29

Today, on the final day of Elul, we stand on the threshold of a new year. Tonight begins Rosh Hashanah. All month, we have practiced waking, softening, repairing, and returning. None of it needs to be perfect, only sincere. Every prayer, every act, and every reflection of this month have brought us here, ready enough to begin again.

What one act of readiness can you choose today? A word spoken, a silence kept, a moment of truth named? Let it mark your intention for the year ahead.

Kavanah: Take one last step today, and let it carry you into the new year.
