Aseres Yemei Teshuva Curriculum
The ten perakim of the Rambam’s hilchos teshuva.
Today do the fourth perek…
Each day, and perek, correspond to one of the ten sefiros.
From keser and down.
Today is chesed.
Discover how each perek connects you to that sefira.
Three Parts Of Rosh Hashana
ריש
אלף
שין
It’s entirety
Daytime until after shofar
During shofar itself
DNA
Alacrity
Simcha
Kesiva V’chasima Tova!
Ten Days Till Rosh Hashana
Time to ponder the mesmerizing words of Rav Simcha Bunim
Maybe enlist the aid of another Yid with neshama…
כתיב בתוך עמי אנכי יושבת
וכתוב מרחוק ה׳ נראה לי
וזה סוד ר“ה
השמחה והדאגה מסותרת בפחד
יזכנו ה׳ להיות יחד
הבינה תגדל מן המעשה
כי המעשה רז והבינה אור
ושניהם דומים
ברוך ה׳ שהחיינו וקיימנו
שיעלה זכרוננו לפני אדון כל
אולי חנונים נהיה
להוציאנו מאפילה לאורה
War
For this Hashem created the universe?
Yes
What if I’m a pacifist?
Apikoros
How much do I have to invest in this?
All you’ve got
Then why did Hashem give it to me?
To be returned
What does that leave for me?
Who are you
Rosh Chodesh Elul
Means what to you?
The Ramchal writes, “כל אחד יכין עצמו לתשובה“.
Torah Vav starts with, “…כי צריך כל אדם“.
Roshei tevos of both selections are each gematria ענוה.
The crown we’re hoping to coronate Hashem with on Rosh Hashana
Is the crown of all midos.
ענוה
Be a man
Devise a plan
An Elul proletarian
The Worst Night In History
Was in chodesh Av
The month of שמיעה
בכיה של חנם
Triggered by לשון הרע
We’re obligated to verbally acknowledge
Loshon hora toxicity
Daily
Would make sense
To focus on the Meraglim event
Not מעשה מרים
Meraglim was a national disaster
Miriam an individual’s mistake
Message In A Bottle
Abba’s found new love
Varies in shape and size
Mommy upped and ran away
Repulsed by blood red eyes
Abba, why you sleeping?
We hope you’re still a dreamer
Once upon a time
Your eyes were wide
The galaxy your oyster
Abba’s found new love
Forbidden by Hashem
Soon we’ll up and run away
Away from Abba’s friend
Firearms
Come out to the gun show
As seen in Guns and Ammo
Gotta do your hishtadlus
In perilous Orlando
The lakes are snakes and gators
The rednecks all Jew haters
God bless the hairy arms of Esav
The only defense that you can think of
The womenfolk are soft and pray
Like old man Jacob
Back in the day
Tu B’Av
Is when we Jews develop self-confidence
Enabling us to feel Hashem’s exclusive love
See the Rambam at the end of Mesechta Taanis
And celebrate!
Good Yom Tov
